10k? Jesus christ, remind me to never turn my back on you.....
The QOL of a mere 10k humans would be utter dogshit compared to our own. That's not enough people, even 1 for 1, to satisfy all that people do..that benefits people. Just one hundred years ago, it took right around 100 people to do just what I do. It takes me, today, more work to satisfy the 41st customer than it did to satisfy the first 40. Takes even more yet...to satisfy the 42nd. So on and so forth. Ad infinitum. Et cetera......et cetera....et cetera.
I push it to two hundred, but that's the distribution of a relative loss leader-as-business-model with 7 employees. Theoretically capable of producing at 700-1 rates, but only economically capable of 40-1. Which is to say that the seven of us could probably grow enough food for 700 hundred of us, but the vast majority of that 700 could not (or would not) pay, if that food had an attached monetary value.
Under 5, or over 50.

Why are people so boring? I mean really, why? Why are people even allowed to exist if they're just going to be boring, empty husks?

Maybe they are interesting to someone else while being boring to you.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Personal judgements coming from someone who turns tricks for pocket change are easily dismissed.

Personal judgements coming from someone who turns tricks for pocket change are easily dismissed. At least turning tricks is interesting work. Most people settle into very mediocre work patterns and never challenge themselves.

Turning tricks is about as interesting as taking a shit.
Nobody else wants to see it or be in the same room during the act.

Yeah, you usually have to pay extra for that.
