May not make it better. It may. Could. Or maybe it can’t.
And more academic modeling has certainly improved lives with much less food scarcity throughout the world, and much improved healthcare.
You are just elaborately saying “we have soap now”. But have you quantified the subjective experience of suffering between people who live now and people who lived before soap?

They didn’t do surveys like that back when they didn’t have soap, so we can never know. But I think healthier longevity is pretty clearly a plus. But you do you - you can refuse heath care if you think it will make you happier.
