Video from The School of Life on Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The facts are that by almost any measure modern life is safer and people are healthier and better off economically than ever before. Rousseau was but yet another doomsayer, all of whom have been wrong.
When I was a boy some farmers could still make a living working their farms but later a few of them had to get jobs in the city to survive. This is what modern life has done to mankind. Then greed came into play and foods of any kind all became processed. So much for life of any kind in an "original state."
