This is a bit of a faulty reasoning though. Just because something happened in history doesn’t mean it has to happen again. Especially if we wouldn’t have been here if the worst happened. If nuclear war happened and destroyed human civilization, with most, if not all, humans dying off in the aftermath, then we wouldn’t have been born and here talking about it.
And there have been very bad parts to history. For example, being a Jew or other minority in Germany during the second World War (or most of anyone really, it was a world war). That might as well have been the end of the world for many. And we also didn’t just get through tough times by itself, people worked hard to change things.
The part about the broken things, they may destroy the objectively good progress that has been made if they are not handled. And things won’t get fixed by themselves.
