    And yet even those parts of humanity live better than 100 years ago.

      If you are literally starving or dying from a preventable disease without access to healthcare, it doesn’t really matter if it is happening now or 1000 years ago, the result is exactly the same.

      Claiming that every human on Earth lives better than 100 years ago is not only objectively wrong, but rings of the “even our homeless here in the US lives better than the richest person in Africa” ignorant nonsense some people likes to spew.

        Do you measure better only by healthcare? A progress was made in almost every facet of life. Even in places where access to modern healthcare is limited or nonexistent.
