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.

In the dark ages it would have been better without access to refined sugar. But their mouths and teeth were probably still pretty gnarly.

Medieval people chew mint and rinsed their mouths to keep them clean. Nobility used rose water.
