It sure doesn't feel like it. But then I think about history and it makes sense

It doesn't feel like it because we have access to every war that is happening while even 50 years ago nobody knew wtf was going on.

I assume this is excluding the first half of the last century which saw the 2 bloodiest wars in history. That wasn't that long ago, and there are still ppl living who witness that. So I don't know if it's fair to say it's a peaceful age, maybe just a lull....

You realise our food production growth rate has massively outstripped world population growth since the end of the 18th century right?
