Kind of like news and social media rage baiting the world into self destruction?
I mean humankind has created immensely powerful technology, and we use it to show ads to each other. Why shouldn't we be depressed in general about this?
Well, I'd say that's the problem with sci-fi. We don't know how to use the tech we already have, so there's no point in dreaming with more. It's a bit like a billionaire dreaming about winning the lottery.

Exactly like this. I almost mentioned it. It's cheaper to sell fear than hope.
