> We are living in an unprecedented golden age of peace and prosperity. Golden ages are fictional constructs, applied retroactively as part of an agenda. There is no such thing as living in a current golden age without knowing the future. I also doubt the statements about peace and prosperity. These just sound like pithy phrases to dismiss concerns. |

That's a weird self contradiction. I just contemporarily applied the Golden Age moniker, so your assertion is just plain wrong.
People have never been as rich as today, even poor people. Wars are a bit bursty, but if you smooth it out a bit, but the probability for an average human to become a casualty in a war has been going down over the centuries, and is still going down over the last decades.
