Who can honestly say that they live worse now than medieval kings? And if we are luckier than that elite class of the past, are we really that unhappy?

I even took the time to find a quote:
Young Engineer: Have you ever heard of Julius Caesar, John? Heard of him? Good. Now, John, do you think that Caesar, with all his wealth and power, with the whole world at his feet, could have had what you have today, Mr. Probst?
John (astonished): Well, when you come to think of it, he couldn't. Ha! What do you say to that!
Young Engineer: Your Honor, I was trying to show that John, standing here before us, with the rising star whose fate we are now deciding, has become richer than Caesar, Napoleon, or Henry VIII could ever have dreamed of! Richer than any emperor in history! Thirty dollars, John—yes, that's what you're paid. But with all his gold and all his army, could Charlemagne get even one electric or electronic lamp? He would have given anything for the insurance and security in old age that you have, John. But could he have gotten it? No!
John (flushing with joy): Lord, I never thought of it that way before, sir. (Smiles modestly.) But I guess that's true, isn't it? Well, what do you say?
Young Engineer: But I get too much money? Fifty-seven thousand dollars? Is that what's bothering you?
Where do we go?
Where do we end up when we save the world?
