Would there be any benefits to life before the industrial revolution

I can think of no reason other than criminal activity. Only thing I can think of is that it would be easier to get away with stuff back then.

But when they find you, they hang you.

Are you high?

Cause this sounds like the kind of thing one thinks about while they are high.

I'm trying to think of any reason someone would like to live before modern day and I can think of no reason other than criminal activity. Only thing I can think of is that it would be easier to get away with stuff back then.

I'd go back and "invent" all the really cool shite that I know has changed human history.

My heirs would be kings of the world...

Well, if I didn't know of any other way to live, it wouldn't be as bad. The benefit, which still applies today, is to survive.

The industrial revolution to me is just like a story I know called the puppy who lost his way...

The world was changing, and the puppy, was getting bigger...

It would have been cool to be wealthy in Victorian England during the age of exploration.

If you tripped and fell your scratch would get an infection and you’d likely die.

Benefit would be you wouldn’t live to see threads like this.

If you were rich you ruled and could basically do whatever you wanted to do.

Well if you didn't know any better, it would simply be life.

Sure knowing what you know now I doubt anyone would want to go back. But that also depends if you can take the knowledge back with you.

I wouldn't be quick to say people are happier now than back then. Priorities have certainly changed, and the shite you see people toil over nowadays either wouldn't even have existed back then, or wouldn't be even worth a mention.

I think it's similar to how happy you see people who live in squalor in 3rd world countries. Their daily life consists of worrying about the basic necessities of life, rather than what Debra said on FB.
