RE: The growth of prosperity in human civilization that media doesn't talk about
Same goes for the improvements. What really matters is the percentages. Just raw numbers are meaningless. If you kill 99% population and if 50% of the remaining are in a bad condition, that's only ~35 million. If there are only 5% people suffering out of 7 billion, that's 350 million.
Does that mean 1 out of 2 people suffering is better than 1 out of 20 people suffering??
