Nostalgia is powerful, when things aren’t feeling right it’s often an easy escape to look back to simpler/different times with rose tinted glasses and point to something as the one true reason why things are now worse. Recently heard of the term juvenoia which is the feeling old people get towards the new ways of the younger generations.
How can you actually tell if that is the axis in which things have worsened via? There’s no way to compare like for like?
