I share this sentiment. Shockingly little has happened in the last 20 years, good or bad, in the grand scheme of things. Our age might become a blank spot in the memory of future people looking back at history; the time where nothing much happened.
Even this recent pandemic can’t shake up the blandness of our age. Which is a good thing, of course, but still.
When I look back twenty years, it seems amazing how little has changed or improved since then. Basically just the same, but some things are less slow.
The arrival of the internet in the nineties was the only real change. The arrival of AI will be the next change, whenever that happens.
And in twenty years the looming maw of death will be closer for most of us, like a bowling ball falling into a black hole.

Or you are seeing the working out of the logistic function that takes shape in so many systems.
