    Yes.

    Why not? We’ve survived pretty crazy things using sticks and stones. Now we have so much more, and there’s so many more of us to act as redundancy.

      Yep.

      Even if you aren’t religious (I’m not), I highly recommend reading the bible, and history since say the 1500’s.

      Things were objectively MUCH worse prior to the 20th century.

          It’s an easily accessible book that gives a relatively accurate view of how people lived during that time if you disregard the mythology.

            Just seems like an unusual choice when what you want to find out is quality of life.
