It’s a thoughtful reminder that, while things could always be worse, they could also always be better, and you wouldn’t necessarily know the difference

When it comes to the 'what could have been' of the diatribe, I feel like it forgets familiarity. If Noah grew up in a world he like the one postulated, than all those 'new' sports he never got to 'letter in' would have been the same sportsballs he had always known. It's not some novel existence that got stolen away because had it existed, it would never have been novel.
