Of argue with my heart and head as equally as I can manage. So, thank you for the compliment, whether you meant it as one or not.-Your guy still has his facts wrong :P There is not less violence, only less death resulting from violence, and, more importantly, a much MUCH higher percentage of people surviving natural causes. Infant mortality rates are among the lowest ever. Death from diseases that were almost always fatal previously have dropped dramatically. The net result is that more people live. If your total number of violent deaths stays constant, or even if it grows, but your population grows exponentially due to longer normal lifespans, then the net result is that your percentage of violent deaths decreases. That is why I mockingly castigated your reducing violent death to numbers and percentages.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
