I’d don’t know what your values are, but under my values, I disagree hard, primarily because under my values history has shown the opposite: despite real losses and horror in the 19th and 20th centuries, the overall trend is my values are being satisfied more and more. Democracies, arguably one of the key developments, aligned states to their citizenry far more than any government in history, and the results have been imperfectly good for my values since they spread.
Or in the words of Martin Luther King misquoted: “In the asymptotic limit of technology, the arc of the universe bends towards justice.”
