Yep, that's a deluded fantasy all right. See "Ultimate Resource 2", "The Resourceful Earth", or "State of Humanity" by Julian Simon or "Earth Report 2000" by Ronald Bailey.
……某种程度上被强加的——尽我们所能去实现正义，这是我们人类的责任。[1] 我觉得那种认为情况一团糟且越来越糟的观念是错误的。比如去看看——朱利安·西蒙的《人类状况》、斯蒂芬·平克的《人性中的善良天使》、马克斯·罗瑟的“Our World in Data”（https://ourworldindata.org）等等。
…imposed somehow - it is incumbent on us humans to impose justice as well as we can. [1] The notion that things are terrible and getting worse is wrong, I think. See for example - Julian Simon, "The State of Humanity" - Steven Pinker, "The Better Angels of our Nature" - Max Roser, "Our World in Data", https://ourworldindata.org etc.
I'm curious why nobody seems to have compared Pinker's book to Julian Simon's 1996 tome The State of Humanity. It's also full of statistics and graphs showing the vast improvements in human life over time leading up to now. Simon's book has been co-opted by the libertarian right (Cato Institute etc.) to show…

对，那纯粹是一厢情愿的妄想。去看看朱利安·西蒙的《终极资源 2》、《足智多谋的地球》或《人类状况》，或者罗纳德·贝利的《地球报告 2000》。

我很奇怪为什么好像没人把平克的书跟朱利安·西蒙 1996 年的大部头《人类状况》作对比。那本书同样塞满了统计数据和图表，展示了人类生活随着时间推移直到当下所取得的巨大进步。西蒙的书已经被右翼自由意志主义者（加图研究所等）借去论证……
