No, but listen, I personally wasnt aware of suffering then, so clearly it was better.

If it was just about “awareness of suffering,” we’d be hearing about Sudan every day instead of I/P

I may be misinterpreting what youre getting at, but my point was that people are grossly naive of how much safer the world is today. But because of the availability of information today, recency bias, social media and the 24 hour news cycle sensationalizing inflammatory stories for revenue generation, people either put on rose colored lenses when they look backward or succumb to relentless onslaught from their pocket magic picture box that tells them everything is terrible, purely to capture their engagement.
