If you had the choice of being born either into an impoverished life in a sustainable agricultural civilization, or into a comfortable life with internet, global transportation and healthcare close to the end of an unsustainable technological civilization, which would you choose?

@Plinz the latter. What is and what is not sustainable is a question of technology. Our species can engineer its way out its predicament.
@mxschumacher No, it probably cannot. We cannot even shut down coal plants when we realize that it's curtains if we don't. My point is we should not despair about not being born into a good world that offers bad lives, but be grateful for a bad world that offers good lives.
