What do you mean &#x27;so much trouble&#x27;?  We&#x27;re constantly getting healthier, living longer lives, hurting each other lessand doing better by just about all metrics.  The only thing that seems to be going downhill is our mental health, and I would argue that&#x27;s simply because we have more diagnosis recorded, rather than those things simply not existing in the past.<p>Could we be getting better at a faster rate, as a species?  Most likely, but it&#x27;s not like we&#x27;ve halted progress or something.
