    Compared to pre industrial humans, we live better than kings

    people still starve and die

    Your entire argument is a false comparison between “we live better than medieval peasants” and “but people are still homeless”?

    You’ve heard the saying that “perfection is the enemy of progress”, right?

      “perfection is the enemy of progress”, right?

      Isn’t there a difference between people starving when there isn’t enough food and having more than enough food you allow to rot so a small percentage of people can live as kings?
