I know a lot of people look at this sort of rhetoric and write it off as absurd, but I think your underlying point is correct: the people who do this sort of thing are probably in the top 10% in terms of making the world a worse place. For

Better than kings 200 years ago? You'd call going from Buckingham palace to homeless on the street an upgrade? Also, libraries existed 200 years ago, as did tropical fruits. Really not sure what your argument is there.

Thankfully. The original had some highly questionable design choices: four parallel columns of text (each ~30 characters wide), images inserted mid-paragraph, and code samples in proportional font.

I could see this being true when depression arises spontaneously. Do you think this could be the case as well for depression that's triggered by life events?
