specific things in past eras have definitely been better, though oftentimes only in specific places.

a big one that's relevant nowadays is how up until after ww2 we just straight up built better cities. the USA used to have like the worlds most impressive public transport network and cities were universally so lively that modern NYC would look bleak to them.

But obviously they also had rackety as hell trams that would have fallen apart if they went speeds we would now consider hilariously slow, so like obviously the ideal is to take the parts of the past that were better and combine them with the nice things we have nowadays.

Like if i could go back to medieval times with modern medicine and a copy of the communist manifesto that'd be pretty sweet.
