Modern Life Is Good Actually

It is easy to read this newsletter and think I don’t like modern life, because I focus most of my walks on the disenfranchised (regions and people), but despite our problems, life is as good as it has ever been. Especially if you play the game of “imagine you’re randomly born anywhere in the world.” At almost every point in the past that would mean an above-average chance you would be birthed into poverty, hardship, pain, want, and violence, and your adult life (assuming you made it to that) would be a struggle to stay alive and satiated.
