It is all relative. What era of human history would you prefer? Personally find the 21st century as the best time to be human even with all its issues.

I was listening to a podcast this morning. The guy said "I'm black. If they invented time travel, there's not even that many times i can go back to!" Truth be told, I don't think things have ever been better than they are right now. We were just less aware.

I personally love the fact that I've got running clean water in my house and when I go to the bathroom I can get rid of it without the risk of becoming infected with Cholera and dying, also the fact that England no longer owns the country I live, Taxes the population for Light and jus primae noctis being practiced from Lords there on Irish women. So yeah, now is technically the best time to be Irish as well.

Keep in mind that the attack/going crazy which happened in France on Friday morning killed 84 people out of 7,400,000,000 of the humans on the planet, sure 84 people seems like a big number, but in reality it's around 20 less than the number of people who die every single minute on this planet. I mean in the grand scheme of things it was 1/88,095,238th of the global population that died, in the same period there was the same or a greater number of births, I mean the OP asks why the human race isn't extinct yet... and the simple answer is because there is so many of us and we breed like a disease on the planet.

To curl up and think that the world is gone made because such a small fraction of it's population died... I mean think of it like this, a baby's body has around 20billion cells in it, if it got a scratch which would damage 160 cells of it's skin (a tiny scratch) and had the reaction of wanting to crawl back inside it's mothers womb and stay there... that is the attitude people are considering now because of global news, sure you never heard of all the bad things happening in the world a few years ago, but at the same time you also didn't have the ability to download a movie or game from the other side of the world in a number of minutes.
