It would be interesting to know if suffering has increased or decreased over the years and while the extra measures are being put in place. I agree with your opinion btw. I'm just skeptical if for all we know there is now more suffering than before because of the internet.

- minblaster 7y agoUnfortunately, some relative comparisons don't matter as much as the absolute. A world where the number of slaves is objectively increasing (as it has now) is worse I'd say. The total amount of suffering is more, even if there are billions more happy people oblivious to your plight.
