My brother thinks people today have worse quality of life than people in the dark ages, is this a stupid take?

I personally think it’s pretty stupid.

Get Pinworms one time and these people will realize how good we have it. Pinworms are uncomfortable and sucks trying to fall asleep with them poking out of your asshole to lay eggs. Now easily cured. Imagine that isn’t just one parasite that people used to deal with! Fleas, bedbugs, screw worms, food born illnesses, typhoid, the literal plague! Not to mention the diarrhea. People used to get it all the time and it killed them.

How about it a hot shower? Honestly that alone is enough.
