RE: The Bill and Melinda Gates Annual Letter for 2017

All this video embedded here says is people started living longer and had more money (which is relative to cost of living). It says nothing about how meaningful life was for these people. Just because you live longer and have more money doesn't mean you did a damn thing in your life that really mattered. In other words, it's possible to have long-lived and rich murderers. See the point? Healthy and Wealthy do not equal "nice" or "kind". I'd rather be around unhealthy poor people that are kind and gracious than healthy rich people that are greedy murderous bastards.

Sort:  

...okay? Are you making an argument that the world is more full of "greedy, murderous bastards"? If so, read Steven Pinker's book referenced in this post.
