The Western lifestyle is a load of nonsense but American propaganda has brainwashed Europe into thinking that being a virtual person who lives to work and owns three cars in a suburb is the only way to live. The average Westerner eats too much and in countries like the UK a significant part of the population lives off processed food. Being an over-supplied hyper-consumer is not really worth it if you have to give up everything else. The American lifestyle is destroying our health.
The ancient lifestyle destroyed our health even more, the average lifespan of humanity in the west is higher now than ever. Complaining that the lifestyle now is some kind of special awfulness is just utter nonsense.
Life is better now than it ever has been before in history but some people just can't seem to give up on some mythologized idea that things were better back in the day. That people were better, healthier, less materialistic, more spiritual, and whatever other nonsense in the past.
People in the past worked every single day for longer hours and half starved. People back in the day suffered and were no better for it. Take your magical thinking about how life was better when most of the population was starving peasants elsewhere. You clearly aren't someone whose ever had to go hungry.
One study suggests that sperm counts have declined in an age where we no longer need as high a level of procreation as our ancestors did because most of our babies don't die like they did in the past and suddenly your here to declare how things were so much better in a time when people didn't name infants because they didn't want to get attached.
My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.
