First, there is no such thing as Golden Age fallacy.

Second, you created a strawman just to feel better.

> have ignored every single one of the downside

I didn't. I said your claims are non-trivial, and enumerated some examples of downsides created by past technical revolutions. There were upsides, there were downsides. It was you who have claimed that "99% are better off". I never claimed anything like that, nor anything that could be considered an opposite..

> You believe a past you never experienced was better

Point me to the exact place where I expressed such belief.

> No logical rebuttal I waste time assembling can refute a fantasy world

You couldn't assemble logical rebuttal because the issue at stake is material, not logical. Learn the difference.

I get it, you are a fragile snowflake that cannot bear criticism, but please, don't put words into my comments even though you cannot find them there.
