Nostalgia is shallow.

Discussions about Nostalgia on the internet are often pretty shallow. “Everyone is nostalgic for the time of their teen years”. The free press ran an article called “The past wasn’t inherently better. So why does it feel that way.”

It feels like the zeitgeist is there are roughly two sides to the argument. Either you’re a backwards looking sentimental-fool who waxes for a time that is inherently tainted by rose-colored glasses, or you’re a realist who looks at the data and understands that lifehas never been better.
