they engaged in a strawman and i wasn't interested in arguing with that. they could understand what i meant instead of trying to redefine my own statements into something it wasn't. we could live in a society with flying cars, but i am not saying that we're happier. i'm just saying we have better living standards than our ancestors.  people had to use boats to travel back then and pirates got scurvy. many in rome used their own urine as deodorant and mouthwash. i am shocked that i have to argue something that should be obvious, but knowing the nature of the response and how antagonistic it is. i won't even engage in a heated debate by observing the signs that it wouldn't be worth it.
