Or you can tell me here, I assume life has been shitty.

Humans have been around for 200,000 years. You're gonna have to be more specific

Someone told me my life (as a 1st worlder) is better than any human to live before me so I wanted to know.

It depends on when and where you mean. Plus it depends on what metric you use to measure quality of life. A medieval European tenant farmer would probably be generally healthier and stronger than the average first worlder, have much more leisure time and have a far better social life. On the other hand they'd be more likely to succumb to disease, possess almost no personal freedoms or social mobility, and exist in perpetual poverty.

That is why I'm thinking life is better now (for me) than literally all life... ever before.

Today is the 100 year anniversary of Spanish Flu, 20 million people suffered and died from it.


Actually, the only time I felt anyone had it better was reading "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" by Weston Price, see those old pictures from 100 years ago of unmodernized people. I romanticized them and it made me cry and existential, I saw those people as angels that the world "modernized" them
