Are we better off now?
It used to be that people were nomadic. They did not own land. They were also hunter / gatherers.

I wouldn't be particularly fond of looking like I'm 50 when I'm really 20. And I'm not a health freak, but living in an age where a slight cut on your finger meant painful infection and a horrible death, or where the common cold had a 100% fatality rate doesn't appeal to me, either.

I like the idea of freedom, and the ancient ways seem like an ideal. It would be great to take a region/ small country and have the best parts of the past, like a fantasy novel. We could have guilds, horse drawn transport, swords, ancient religions, large libraries with ancient books, shrines, blacksmiths... Side: No, I wanna sleep in and no HW

Well, when it comes to the fact that our world is controlled by the corporations, where countries' water supplies have been bought by corporations, where Walmart has more money than many countries do, where the United States has over 16.3 trillion in debt, where the richest 2% of the population in the world own more than half of the global household assets, where countries have gone completely bankrupt, where six members of the Waltons family owned more money than the bottom 30% of American citizens combined, where our world is swamped by advertisements, where American rights are slowly deteriorating, where rapid inflation by the Federal Reserve diminishes what value left our dollar has, where our gas prices continually rise only because corporations want more money, where our politicians continually screw us citizens, and constant wasting of our Earth's natural resources, we're not that better off right now.
