Seeing as that standard is subjective (ex. We don't live badly because in the future we will live better) then it wouldn't really matter.

That doesn't make much sense.

It actually does. In the future people will say that we lived like cavemen and look primitive. Things like: How the hell did they live without spaceships! That's insane! I don't know what would I do without my cleaning robot, I mean, they actually cleaned their houses?!

It's all subjective.

I undertsand what you're trying to say, but I don't see the connection.

There isn't suppossed to be one. I just said that it wouldn't really matter that much.

I think we can say that we're objectively better off than people in the Middle Ages, for example (better technology, better standards of living, massively higher rates of literacy, better education etc.). It's true that peopel in the future will probably look back at us and say we were like "cavemen". I mean who knows how things will change? Nowadays we find the ideea of not having access to running water, throwing garbage on the street or eating with our hands to be barbaric, yet it was the standard in the Middle Ages (though not in the more advanced countries of that time).

That's right, but if people wanted to have all that they would just strive for it... It's somewhat a tautology.
