Because we've been dealing with these issues for a long time and they have failed to create the dystopia's predicted. I will acknowledge that life has gotten worse for some people, but overall things have gotten better.
The dream of the panopticon has been realized- but it was not used to monitor people and force them into better behavior through fear of an all seeing eye. It's been used so that Amazon can charge you if you open a bag of chips in their store and start munching when you get your purchases.
Nuclear weapon stockpiles will always be there, but the overall counts have been decreasing. Anti missile technology has also gotten better over time.
The world faces crises, I won't deny that. But this isn't the first time that it has happened. There have been two world wars already, with devastating weapons unleashed in each one. There have been multiple plagues throughout history. Every time has been awful, but every time people have also been able to pull through and build a world that was arguably better than the one before.
