Not having dukes around, along with higher global avg prosperity, is also a very recent trend. And seemingly a pretty good one.

Careful with talk like that, one might be about, might take offense and want to um, them it out..

Cliché, but completely untrue. Personal space in general is a very recent trend. No one with a retinue, servants or a big family has personal space…
