When the alternative is a dystopic future, the past doesn't look so bad. Looks great, actually.

Fixed that for ya ;|

As for living in the past(nostalgia/etc): It is nice and all, but I find it better to either try to change the present/future for the better if one is able, or find ways to make the present/future more tolerable if that isn't possible.

Only does third-party trackers though. Not first-party ones. Still interesting.

maybe it becomes dystopic when most people wants to live in the past and don't want to do anything to make the future better
