And 30,0000 years ago people lived as foragers, the world was much more equitable and people had more leisure time.
Sure, it's true that humans on average are now better than 2000 years ago, but this doesn't mean it was always the case nor that this trend will continue. It's entire possible that the average human will be worse off in 100 years from now.

- DeWilde 4y agoMaybe hunter gatherers did live more equitable but their life quality has nowhere near what an average human has today with technology. Even in developing countries.
- shafyy 4y agoDepends on how you define life quality. Everything is relative.

- shafyy 4y agoNot true. Foragers were quite resilient to stuff like drought, because they could just move along and ate foods from many different sources. Drought etc. started to become a real problem only once people were dependent on agriculture.
