All else equal, cheap is good. Also if I'm choosing between a million unhoused and a few in beautiful mansions, and everyone housed, I'm choosing the latter. We need quantity too, not just quality.

Is there a specific war, genocide, or other event that you were referencing though? I wanted to learn more.

Are you discounting the benefits of advances in agriculture? Such as producing more food on less land? (Granted, it would be better if more of the land were given back to Nature instead of suburban sprawl, but that’s a different problem and

I think it's correctly rated. There are other activities which have the benefits you stated, but spark more joy in humans, such as piano-playing. I'm glad that people juggle, but I'm also glad that more people play piano.

If I had to design a keyless keyboard, I would start from the ground up. The fingers would stay in one place with some combination of mode-shifting and chording to select characters. Let's hope it never comes to that.
