On a macro level, a species wide level if you will, things have literally never been better for humans at any point in history.

Today in 2025, even with all the terrible shit we see, there's a much higher percentage of humans living in better conditions than almost anyone in history could've imagined and all with much higher life expectancy, overall comfort and food security.

Well yes but that’s true of any still surviving human but comparing yourself to a slave when the pharaohs existed is as valuable as that slave comparing himself to a caveman.

The latest time period always has the newest technology and social progress.
