True, but most of human history was also pretty awful. If subsistence agriculture is your idea of a good time, nobody's going to stop you. But it's definitely not what most people want.

But it's definitely not what most people want. I can't tell - are you arguing that soft money is a necessary precondition to industrialization?
- wpietri 4y agoI'm saying that your argument is bunk. People also lived without effective dental care for long periods of time. People lived without all sorts of things. If you want to show that something is unimportant, you have to do more than wave vaguely at recorded history as if it were all pretty great.
