Annecdotes do not make data. But just making a small thought experiment, consider than in the past:
-Literacy rates around the world were way, way lower.
-Mortality rates were way up.
-Access to information or books in general was restricted to a few elite.
And it wouldn't be a stretch to see that just going by sheer numbers nowadays we are doing way better than, say, the world as a whole 300 years ago.
