Please provide the evidence that people were miserable 100 years ago. Can you? No, only the quotes of very ancient beings.

I think you need to re-read his post. He did not say people in other parts of the world were better off he said they live a lot like we did 100 years ago and asked whether or not one would think they are happy. In other words there are people in other countries with access to the same level of technology that we had 100 years ago and they aren't happy so why would Americans 100 years ago be happy?
