People have always and will always think that the time they are living in is the most important time ever. This is a self evident fallacy or a universal truth.

These times we are living in are not the most important. Or, of they are, then everyone everywhere is at everytime living at the same importance.

Now, there is something called the hinge of history that some mathematicians have looked into the chance of "well right now is most important, people in the past and future are delusional". The chances are very very low.

Think of this the next time you hear someone appeal to urgency as political motivation.
