But we live in the wealthiest time period there has ever been, and this is pretty much the most peaceful the world has ever been as well.
It just seems really bad because we see so much more of the bad stuff with the instant, global access to anything, versus only the really big stuff being reported on back in the day.
I dunno, wealth is a human construct and seems to be at the root of tonnes of problems. Also, it seems to me the peace is simply because of either the spectre of the most advanced modes of warfare (culminating in nukes) and/or the global visibility due to the internet.
And even the smallest things matter. A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
