    Yes. We have gained wild material wealth relatively compared to a thousand years ago. However, we traded the shared community or village we had for the wealth.

      I guess you’re talking about like WAY back in the past, like even before Eridu (the first city). So that would be like pre-5000 B.C. Back then, I suppose the family and the community were stronger because you kinda had to be. You didn’t have the option of disconnecting from reality like we do now
