To see we live in very privileged times, you don't even need to go back 10,000 years in the past to the times of early humans of North America.

You can just look back less than 200 years ago when slavery was very much legal and you could be kidnapped/arrested and shipped to various places around the globe like any commercial commodity. Slavery was made illegal in the British Empire in 1833 and in all of United States only after the American Civil War.

Smallpox up until the 18th century was the single deadliest disease in Europe. No one encounters smallpox today unless you live in an anti-vaxx household. Up until 1950s, your chances of getting crippled for life in very early stage of your life by polio disease was pretty high. Dying or getting crippled by polio today is extremely rare.

Up until around 10 years ago, it seemed like Facebook was the only social media in town. I rarely even think about having to use it these days nor have I installed the app in my phone because there are other options out there. And, I had the misfortune of having to use Android 4.4 KitKat back then which is super ancient by today's mobile operating system standards.

We live in very privileged times.
