Yea but all the information humanity has collected at my fingertips and a more diverse diet than any king in history is pretty neato.

And medicine that would be considered magic, living to ripe old age of beyond 40.

Still doesn't make up for the fact that all we do is work.

The average life expectancy was low, because so so many people died very young. If you made it through your 20s, you'd be pretty likely to live to what we still consider "old age".

For people living traditional lives, without modern medicine or markets, the most common age of death is about 70.

Huh... Misconception removed. Thank you for that.

But that's not really a rebuttal either. How about we have both? Why not all the benefits of progress together with less work?

How about it? I'd sign up, but have you looked around? Do you think those hoarding wealth and power will willingly share it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not to mention the convenience that is idk... A fucking dishwasher or laundry machines, or heatable ovens to the exact degree of temperature you want, microwaves, literally any device created to enhance the average citizens time spent NOT doing the egregiously long work needed to maintain a home that these hypothetical peasants did. People just braindead tbh when they see shit like this and just nod along like it's so wise.
