This attitude is closer to that of the 1890's, when new scientific discoveries made the line between fact and fiction very vague and thereby the future very uncertain

Also it's pretty ironic that despite all that positivity, after the 20s came the great depression.

Could it also be something to do with shame surrounding feeling "bad" emotions playing a more active role in the past than at current where it's more encouraged to say how you truly feel?

Hey :
maybe the problem is how we measure “standard of living.” ownership and longevity are not happiness.

Many things are worse today than in the 20s. “Standard of living” isn’t the only metric with which to measure satisfaction with life

1920s: increasing living standards vs 2020s: declining living standards. It's not the current number, but the sign of the derivative that prescribes the mood.
