Max, I think right now is a great time to be alive, even with all the trouble and strife in the world.
Think about it; there's more availability of cool music, movies, old tv shows, and gadgets than ever before (at least in my lifetime). When I was a kid in the 60s-70s, if you missed a great film or tv show, it was gone forever. VHS and later DVD changed that. If you had a favorite song, you could enjoy it only as long as it stayed on the radio pop music charts, unless you had a record player and could afford a large record collection. Now everything is out there; you just have to find it on the Internet
(cool car; my first car was a '66 VW bug; I owned it around '76).
