Peasant feudalistic times are so far in the history that they are irrelevant.

When people talk about quality of life going up and down, they mean compared to last 20 years or something like that.

Comparing with a previous generation or two, how does a 25 year old's life compare now compared with 2001, 1981, 1961 and 1941

I get your point, but at least in this case we should probably compare to quality of life just before these chemicals were in use.
