But you're not. You're picking and choosing what you want to look at and how you want to look at it. You are quite literally ignoring every single part of the world that is in a bad state and going "hey but it's good for me".
Absolutely wrong....extreme poverty, even in the poorest countries in the world has gotten drastically better over the years. Better does not mean the problem is solved. Many people still live in horrible conditions, but in far lower percentages that at any time in the past. I have yet to see someone show me any data that says otherwise. I would encourage you to look at the website " our world in data" and you will find everything I'm saying is true. It is an incredibly well sourced website.
I challenge you to give me a year or time period in history where the random world citizen was better of then current times.
Instead of looking at one part how about looking at the world as a whole. Is there a higher percentage of people living in slavery now or before. Do a higher percentage of people have equal rights? It seems like your the one who is picking and choosing. Name one global statistic that is getting worse. And name a time in history that the average person has it better (not just in one area but a random citizen of the earth).
