Have you noticed how many people evoke the idea that previous times were so much better than present times?

The last one I added on the list was Seneca. Even having existed two thousand years ago, he also longs for the times when things were simpler. When no extraction from the ground was made and everyone lived easily and with spare time just by hunting and gathering taking the fruits given by nature. Basically before private property existed.

He even makes it sound like the garden of Eden.
