    Oh he’s saying the Western world today is better than living anywhere else in human history. Yeah that’s not unreasonable but also a bit of a pointless comparison. I’d rather be well off in several non Western countries than be poor in a Western country, especially America.

    My initial interpretation was that the Western world has always been the best place to live in human history which is a hard sell to say the least.

      Ah, yeah, that would be extremely questionable at best.
