Why is it crappy to be alive now? If you want a nice life, now’s fairly okay, esp. compared to most of history. If you’re worried about the future, best to be in the time that most matters, which is now, so you can do the most good. It does suck that there’s all that wasted potential though.
And hey, by the Doomsday anthropic argument, we’re probably the people who take over the universe! Or something.
