1000 years ago we didn't have a surveillance state, climate collapse, tiktok, 4chan, drone strikes, school shootings, car accidents, car dependent infrastructure, pollution smog, microplastics, fox news, subscription services, hiring AI, police robots, the gig economy, leafblowers, overdraft fees, airbnb, overseas concentration camps, white phosphorous, fracking...
Yeah, there's a lot of bad, but he's right. On average, the vast majority of humanity is significantly better off than we were a thousand years ago.
Africa is struggling to recover from colonisation. The middle east is a warzone. The Americas and Australia are being occupied by invaders. Europe is in financial crisis. I don't really know about east Asia. Even Antarctica is melting. Capitalism is worse for the worker than feudalism.
