I really think that people in the future will think this is one of the stupidest times in history.

I'm sure that people living in all the differing parts of history felt the same way. As Charles Dickens wrote "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times." Ultimately, it all depends on how you see things. While things may have sucked for Medieval monks, times were great for Saracens. While things may have sucked for Etruscans, times were looking great for Romans. It all depends on your perspective. There is no, IMHO, absolute "good" time or "bad time".
