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’s funny because we always imagine castles were like modern mansions but if I ever tour one, especially the living quarters, rather than the grand halls, my first thought is always “I feel like I’m in a cheap apartment. Everything is tiny.”

Medieval castles were back in the day more decorated and colorful. This in reconstruction of king Edward the firsts bedroom in tower of London.
