Is it just me or is the 21st century....rather boring?

I agree; the 21st century so far has been fairly noneventful. We are still riding the wave of the post-World War massive surge in prosperity and living out the late-20th century era. There hasn't been any major geopolitical realignment since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Technology hasn't changed much beyond the rise of the Internet. Socially and politically it is an Age of Complacency where memes have replaced activism.

But...let's wait a bit and give Covid-19 a chance to really demolish the global economy before making a judgment.
