"Almost every aspect of our lives is worse, with only a few technological gimmicks to fool us into thinking how great modernity is. The kinds of food we eat, the toxins we pour into the environment, the lack of community and the lack of attachment to nature has caused humans all sorts of health and mental issues. Even the medical miracles designed to keep us alive for longer doesn’t restore health, merely puts off the fateful day, often with declining health needing all sorts of drug and technological aids to make life bearable."
