To split hairs, saying “more peaceful” implies it was peaceful in the first place and even is now, just less so. I don’t think it was peaceful at either point. Which why I am framing it as a status quo of violence that was lesser 4 years ago and greater now.
40,000 years ago
@possiblylinux127 @TheOubliette Four years ago was certainly more peaceful than today.
It depends on how you measure it. That was the start of covid so people were dying
I might frame it as less embroiled in open war and extermination.
@TheOubliette i don’t think there is any way you can measure and/or frame it that my statement is not true.

@TheOubliette I don’t like to choose between evils, but when not given the choice I’ll choose the lesser.
I don’t know what you mean
