>One shot at life

>Could have been born in a war-torn country
>Could have been born in a poor shithole
>Could have been born with a serious medical problem requiring numerous surgeries throughout my lifetime
>Could have been born in a time period where I'd be a simple labourer working for the rest of my life until I died at 40 from a disease antiobiotics and vaccines could prevent

>Instead born healthy to middle-class family in non-wartime in one of the safest and best countries in the world where the biggest complaints one could have is how the Universal healthcare is a little too slow, or how the plentiful grocerystores full of food's prices are a little bit too high which means I'll be able to invest a little less money per month with my job that affords me my living expenses and allows me money go to on vacations every year and retire comfortably

T-thank you God

He makes a good point, leaf. Don't deny that people are treated like tools by the system; just things to provide work and spend away their consumerist habits.
>>
>>70122944
As if another system would treat people better...

Yeah I'm sure life was great back when people worked like peasants
>>
>>70123186
Before civilization, yeah, I genuinely think life would be much better. Humans aren't supposed to live the way most people do now.

It's alright, countries with cold climate are a good ones. However the warm climate countries...

You make your own laws. It's shitty how you can get "justifiably" arrested for some obscure ass law just because it exists.
>>
>>70123699
It was no better back when your Lord could ride into your village and hang you for thievery just because he couldn't catch the real thief

Or your daughter would be robbed and raped by bandits just because she tried to cross from one holding to another
>>
>>70123699
That's fucking retarded and you are an idiot.

>You make your own laws.
And then who's going to enforce them?

No shit lmfao

But he's talking even further back, he's talking way before civilization.

You are, pussy. No one should have to do someone else's dirty work.
>>
>>70123895
Ahh yes when your new wife would die at 17 trying to give birth to your child, and then you die at 40, and you lived your whole life in the muck with no tooth brush or real bed or the ability to read

this guy has the same eyes as a homeless guy in Amsterdam

why?

>You are, pussy. No one should have to do someone else's dirty work.

What if someone doesn't follow the rules I thought of and decides to kill me?
>>
>>70123950
>and then you die at 40

That's some optimistic thinking. Before civilization you probably wouldn't live to 25.

You didn't have guns you stupid burger. You had a sword if you were lucky. And if you were even luckier you could afford to learn how to use it properly. And even if you went up against two men they'd still kill you

If you ignore newborn deaths, which you should since they're not people, the life expectancy of tribals were closer to 70.

that's hell of a bummer
you can speak english tho, so at least you've got that going on for you
>>
>>70124022
No rules at all existed back then, only way to "make them exist" would be to tell someone about it. It's every man for himself. As for them killing you, tough shit. Should have defended yourself.

>It's every man for himself. As for them killing you, tough shit. Should have defended yourself.

That doesn't sound better than modern society.
>>
>>70124094
That's the good part about it. No one had guns, no one's life could end in a flash unless it was really, really deliberate.

Of course though, I like guns. Guns are good in this day and age. Everyone has them, so everyone keeps eachother in check and no one does anything stupid.
>>
>>70124226
Better than living that way and knowing it than getting killed by some thug but thinking the law makes everyone equally protected and untouchable.
>>
>>70124169
Yes because humans just grew out of the ground, individually
>>
>>70124300
No. I would definitely not say that living in such a place is great.

Sounds similar to Somalia or something.

Yes... That's why your murder rate is so low compared to every other 1st world country lol
>>
>>70124353
Somalians are a bunch of niggers with guns who just want to kill people. Sure, people way back when killed people but not all of them killed so recklessly. And they didn't have guns.

You're the one on drugs claiming rules didn't exist before modern civilization

Rules are social constructs. They don't technically exist at all, they're a completely mental thing. Think about it, if you break a rule but the person who made the rule doesn't have the power to enforce it, what the fuck can they do?

Then they will either start to enforce them or try harder to enforce them. Usually enforcement is implied so it's a useless discussion

Since he's so ordinary in everyone's eyes, no one will try to understand him. Someone who will never be hated by others but will never attract anyone either

You'll live life as a matter of course and then die the same way

It wasnt as bad as hollywood has made it out to be, nobody lived a life of drudgery in England-people got more days off than they do now, it was only hard when you had to get the harvest in quickly before it goes bad.

life is only better now because of recent technology-fertilisers, antibiotics, understanding of biology and tractors/combustion engines have made a huge difference.
not because of society
>>
>>70126484
Those things are pretty fucking important

And research helps us make a better society too, BTW. Understanding of Economics, psychology and sociology helps make logical and effective public policy. That's an important component as well.
