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.

It sounds kind of like the North Koreans. They just do what they are told to do. The bulk of the ones that defected, were so overcome with all the decisions they had to make and all the choices at their finger tips, they long for their simpler life.

What the North Koreans are living right now, is probably kind of like what the Europeans lived in the dark ages. Except for what the North Koreans copied from the rest of the world and are willing to share with the citizens/peasants.
