The modern age does solve the problems of the previous ages in an almost miraculous way. But, in the process, it creates new ones:
The cheap, affordable food we now mass-produce to feed billions and reduce starvation, is of low quality, and as a result, causes obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. It is an irony of the modern age that more people suffer from obesity than of starvation.
Our evermore cheap and fast transportation & communication system is transporting & communicating diseases, extremist ideas, and social instability wherever it reaches.
Even the things we—the loyal citizens of the modern age—claim to be superior at, are a mere adaptation for the problems WE produced:
We have superior dietary science because we have more bad diets to avoid. We have superior dentistry because we have worse teeth than before. We go to gyms and subscribe to the myriad of physical activity programs because we've become so lazy & sedentary. We read more books because we can no longer learn from immediate experience. And we invented psychotherapy because we feel so lonely since we cut every tie with our families and community.

They call the middle ages "dark." By comparison, we are the sons of a really illuminated age both literally and figuratively (with LED lights and exponentially increasing knowledge), an age of light so bright it's making us blind.
السكري نوع ثاني مثلًا، ديزيد سنة عن سنة بسبب الـ westernized diet. بالعادة هو يصيب الأشخاص بعمر الـ 40 بس بسبب زيادة نسبة المصابين بالسمنة، صرنا نشوف أشخاص عمرهم 20 أو حتى مراهقين مصابين بالسكري نوع ثاني.
ها وعندك أغلب البلدان النامية (developing countries) بنقطةٍ ما بتطورها رح تشوف إحصائيات الإصابة بالسكري فجأة زادت بسبب الحمية الغذائية الغربية.
يعني إذا تريد تعرف فلان بلد تطوّر لو لا، لتدوخ روحك بالـ GDP والمؤشرات الإقتصادية، بس شوف نسب الإصابة بالسكري

هاي ما عدا سوالف الربو والحساسية بأنواعها وأمراض المناعة الذاتية والسرطانات والـ mental illnesses ونسب الإنتحار العالية اللي تلكاها أكثر شي بالبلدان الطاگة

For fuck sake, even politics and society have become ever more complicated and fucked up: totalitarianism is a product of the modern age, because you need so advanced of a technology in order to "totally" control the population.
أيها الليل، يا ملك المعجزاتِ الحقيقي! إنْ كان هناك ما هو مُعجِزٌ في قبرِ الطين فهو أنّه يجتذب الخاسرين وحولَه يكتشفون شراكتهم في هذا العُمرِ المحطّم، ثم يمضون تاركينه وراءَ ظهورهم وكأنّه لم يكن.
