People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems?

I guess you’re referring to the part I edited out where I said that there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that life is supposed to be easy. I don’t think that contradicts humans trying to make life easy.

But it seems to me that a lot of meaning is derived from being at the limit of what is impossible and staying at the level of easy makes people depressed and unhappy.
