Best Time To Be Alive

When I was a child, I wanted to live in Medieval Times, it seemed so adventurous and magical looking at it from the comfort of my modern life.  The truth is that it wasn't that great to actually live in those times, and in this episode I compare our life as a society, with theirs, so that we can appreciate how amazing it is to be alive right now.    Books referenced: Enlightenment Now: https://www.amazon.com/Enlightenment-Now-Science-Humanism-Progress/dp/0525427570 Age Of Discovery: https://www.amazon.com/Age-Discovery-Navigating-Rewards-Renaissance/dp/1250085098 Listen to them: www.georgianbenta.com/audible    Other reasearch resources: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160928-why-the-present-day-could-be-the-best-time-to-be-alive https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/10/opinion/steven-pinker-enlightenment-now.html https://ourworldindata.org/war-and-peace
