Well, I'm grateful to be living at this point in history. I'd
   also like to be living 500-1000 years in the future as well.

   But, had I been born in another era that was earlier, it's
   likely I would've done ok.

   Are we better? Well, there's no way to objectively know for sure
   because we're inside the very culture we're critiquing; getting
   an outside perspective can only happen in the future, by which
   time this time already passed. [past].

   So... I don't know.

   A study I want to embark on, and really should get started on is
   this:

   What would the Kenneth Udut of 1820 be doing right now?

   I could answer that more easily for the 1840s and beyond as the
   industrial revolution, telegraph, and all that marvelous stuff
   that I can easily equate to 2015 start coming available; it
   FEELS modern.

   But 1820s seems to be the end of some kind of era. I'm not sure
   what kind exactly though. Shit. I gotta go earlier than 1820s.
   The Luddites were from 1810-1816...

   even though I'm not England.. it's still too modern.
