Siverfale vs Kitty

Of course, the old days were better because reason was more important than strength! ;) :D :D

Let's start with the fact that people have already established more or less peaceful relations with each other, wars are no longer breaking out, and countries are helping each other. Although things are not perfect here yet, it is still better than in the past.

That's not true; wars have been, are, and probably will continue to be. Just turn on the TV, and you can see what's happening in the world. And now, let's take a history textbook and see that most of the wars back then occurred with intervals of 40 years...

Secondly, humanity has acquired one of the most important things in the world – knowledge. We have become more careful about nature, healing the wounds we have inflicted on it.

But there were no such wounds back then. In the sense, NONE AT ALL. Now, even in the most remote villages, you can smell gasoline...

Thirdly, we have more comfortable living conditions, there are all sorts of vacuum cleaners and refrigerators, and it has become easier for people to communicate – through e-mail and ICQ or even phones.

But what has this civilization given humanity? You know, Kitty, here are some statistics for the last 150 years:
Transportation speed has increased more than a thousandfold.
A person's energy capacity has increased at least a thousandfold.
The amount of weapons has increased millions of times...
Do you feel the trend?
And now, let's remember the past, when men spent years trying to get a simple kiss from a girl (and now, let's go outside and ask any 18-year-old girl how many she has SIMPLY kissed... Most of them won't even be able to remember); those were truly the days of romance (at least, after the 15th century). Let's not talk about the "dark ages," the Middle Ages, and so on; let's look at the best part of the "old days." Despite the "primitiveness" of those times, there were many more people who made their names in history; most bright minds and talents are unlikely to be found now. Jack Sparrow said it best in the third part of "Pirates." Jack was told that there were fewer PEOPLE (in capital letters) now, and the world had somehow shrunk. He replied:
"No, the world is still the same. There is just less... content."
Let's remember the good old 17th century, when anyone who was dissatisfied with the old order, anyone who wanted to change their life, went west, on a long voyage, hoping to build a new world without the flaws of the old one. To America (this is already the 18th century, but I will take it only as a successful example), the smartest and most desperate people went – and they built a completely new society; they managed to create democracy, not to bend to the king as before. The others had the same opportunities, but excessive exploitation of the local population destroyed them in the most naive way imaginable. But we are talking about the fact that they COULD build a new life. Now it is impossible to do that. Hence, the dissatisfaction. Hence, the psychoses, suicides, schizophrenia...
Sorry if I am too assertive in expressing my point of view; I just don't know how to do it any other way. :(
