What do you mean by that?

You keep talking about how one ought to live or should live. How do you know what one ought to or should do?

It is not objective.

Which life is better is not a judgment dependent on moral stance. There are specific psychological indicators based on objective needs which inform the value judgment. You could argue that man's life was simpler, therefore better - and you'd be wrong.

You keep making pronouncements. You are becoming tedious.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
