Yeah personally I wouldn't want to go too far back; within living memory, the life expectancy even in the developed world was a good 20-30 years less than today due to a lack of antibiotics, vaccines, and other medical interventions.

Might have been nice to have spent more of my life pre-internet and especially pre-social media though. I was born in 1989 and grew up in the 90s and 2000s which was nice, but I guess being born in the 70s and growing up in the 80s might have been cool.

It was, but now I'm stuck in the same cesspool world regardless. Not looking forward to ageing in this world.

Pre-industrial revolution sounds better to me. But then I'm sensitive to any engine noise, central air, too many visual stimuli, too much information vying for my attention all the time. I'm not made for the 'modern' world.

Living in the time of Leonardo Da Vinci sounds appealing to me.
