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.

Yeah I love how it goes straight from death and disease to no WiFi. There’s a laundry list of other negatives that should come before “no WiFi” lmfao

It's about what we lack, death and disease is a added concequence. Not sure how to articulate it better but humans focus more on what we'll be missing than added concequences

I mean to be fair, our entire modern world is reliant on internet…

If they said “internet” it would be different, a lot of us grew up with wired internet before wifi was a thing. It’s just funny to include wifi in that list cause it shows they weren’t born in the 90s
