Better in almost every single way. Crime is down, war is down, bigotry is down, starvation is down, poverty is down, freedom of movement is up, clean water is up, education is up, and modern medicine is amazing. It’s objectively the best time to be alive for the average human that’s ever existed.

The Western world is pretty good, except for the 70,000 fentanyl deaths in the US every year. The 3rd World is terrifyingly bad.
Way,way worse.
Both. If we are talking centuries scales. Some bits are better some are worse. Nothing is EVER a binary choice.
