I agree wholeheartedly with everything you have said. I would caution your rosy outlook though. While we certainly have seen war, disease, and violent crime steadily decrease while billions of people have access to fresh water and electricity, all is not what it seems.

Corporations have destroyed our environment. According to my research we have lost about a billion people to pollution in the last fifty years. That is quite the trade for our prosperity. Every single human is poisoned from birth in multiple ways. You can't even burn wood without releasing a ton of lead due to it blanketing our planet from decades of air pollution.
