Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We've come far, and have further to go!

I’m not arguing for good enough. You’re framing this as a false dichotomy between completely ignoring all the accomplishments of past generations and all the valuable aspects of our current system, and completely giving up.

What we can do is decide to recognize that parts of our current system work really well, and stop always talking about trying to uproot what we have and replace it.

What I mean is: our current system has value, and we should recognize that and not destroy the parts that bring us value.
