@sapinker@telegraph Foolish; life may not *feel* better to you, but in real terms it is better. Less of the dismissive attitude. -
@AlWest13 I ain't talking about feelings- And you know me well enough to name call me foolish? Who's being dismissive now? -
@kittyctc I hope you can see how silly that seems. If you provide a reason for believing that the world is nasty, then I'm all ears.
-
@AlWest13 @kittyctc 85 families are as wealthy as the poorest 3.5bn people. That good enough reason? -
@philwilliamson8 @kittyctc on average, human life now is significantly better than it ever has been. It can get much better still, of course -
@AlWest13 @kittyctc depends on how u judge it. Living longer yes not necessarily better in terms of family relationships and happiness! -
@philwilliamson8 @kittyctc I doubt the world was happier or more convivial when smallpox reigned & murder rates were higher. - 7 more replies
