I would like to posit a variation of the anthropic principle:<p>We are currently alive to have this discussion, therefore the things we&#x27;ve done to get here are not the worst we could have done.<p>I recognize that&#x27;s not the strongest argument, but it sure as heck beats the stupid &quot;it&#x27;s 2016, therefore you are on the wrong side of history&quot; meme that people seem so fond of throwing around.<p>To answer your question: Working out well enough for you, me, and everyone here.<p>So can we <i>please</i> stop trying to force the latest political fad into everything ever?
