One of the theories as to why general violence rates dramatically dropped over the last few decades is that the rise of screen technology has made us the most passively entertained people in all of history. We are are a screen culture. At the same time we also became the fattest and most comfortable ever.
Our modern version of bread and circuses has done amazing things the romans couldn’t even imagine, like actually making the poorest the most likely to be obese. History and human nature seem to indicate that fat, entertained and comfortable people don’t have civil upheavals or commit much violence.
