Question: We're better off materially, but did this come a the cost of social and community life? Did the modern world fail in this way?

Answer: Well, I would say let’s consider some social things: slavery, wife-beating, religious hatreds. Have those improved or worsened in the modern world? I think the record clearly shows that we’ve made great social improvements in all of those areas.

Or consider some other kinds of social events: family vacations, music concerts, sports events. Do we have more of those and better access to those, or fewer and worse? And again I think the record shows that we have a lot more of those things and they are a lot better, so the modern world has made great strides both materially and socially.
