    To be fair 1/3 of women don’t die in childbirth, 1/2 of children don’t die before they are ten, we have weed and booze they could never have dreamed of, freaken chocolate and aspirin, and you are highly unlikely to become a sex slave. It was paradise for a very small fraction of the population and rape/slavery/castration for the rest.

    Still I could go for an orgy and some figs if anyone is in the mood.

      weed

      Weed is better today, but you wouldn’t get arrested for it back then

      chocolate

      Ah yes, the industry that depends on child labor, human trafficking, and slavery…

      aspirin

      Chew willow bark

      It was paradise for a very small fraction of the population and rape/slavery/castration for the rest.

      Yeah, today you don’t buy agrarian slaves, instead you just magically get cheap bananas, chocolate, oil, lithium, etc.

      Out of sight, out of mind?
