away of you had the choice to be alone in 2023 or 1900 which would you choose? For all the romanticizing of the good old days few would want the life of back then.

2023 fer sure! So many things at hands fer moar benefits and a better life. Lots of challenges with life back then.
Can I pick alone in both :)
I bet you what you want that I would choose 1900, for the simplicity of things, the essence, people were happier with less. Nowadays they want more and more.
People died young, people world 80 hours weeks, child labor was commonplace, and poverty was rampant.
And yet people were happier? People only had less because it was available.
I think the less they knew, the happier they were. Of course I am a minimalist and I always believe that "less is more"
2023, i would say.
I am a technological slave, will not survive a day without internet or my smartphone :-)
Irrespective of how much romance in good old days
I do, 1900 would be a breath of fresh air
Are you serious? I dont think you realize what it was like back then.
Yes and I do
I'd pick 1900. Even the 1990s were simpler but we were happier. 2023 seems very complicated to me, maybe it's because I'm getting old 😅
That is laughable.
How do you know people were happier? Child abuse was tolerated. Child labor was commonplace. People worked 6 days a week, 12-15 hours perday, no overtime.
And many diseases were a death sentence. Can you imagine what the dentist was like.
Yet people romanticize it.
Frankly,I didn't think about it this way,you may be right,I'm not sure what the world was like back then.But when we consider everything,they both have their good sides,but it's difficult to know which one is better without experiencing it
To be honest, history never moves in linear progression and, depending on various criteria, some earlier period are better than latter. Romans during Crisis of 3rd Century or Barbarian Invasions would probably prefer living during the earlier period of Pax Romana. But that definitely doesn't apply to 2023 vs. 1900. In a couple of years, if we aren't lucky, things might look different, though.
Are you talking about living alone or living in isolation? 1900 seems good for living alone, but 2023 seems good for living in isolation.
I can say without fear of contradiction that if I had to be alone I would choose being alone now in 2023. Happily I do not have to make that choice.
You nailed it. People do not realize how life was. It was not easy. Most today would be crushed under what those people went through.
