This optimism is rather triggering because there are so many negative developments in both the world and society at large, it's scary how someone can imagine this current time is somehow better then the past.
It all depends on your values and perspective of course, if your values happen to aline with the current zeitgeist and you value materialism, wealth and technological progress, you probably think the current era is great.
If you worry about the demographic population collapse, lowering of IQ, national debt, wars and the risk of nuclear war as well as authoritarianism creeping into society, the current era is very pessimistic.
My idea of optimism would be more like a radical shift in government, economics, geopolitics and control over things like immigration and reduce internet censorship.
