It’s always them imagining a time in which they can place themselves in a position of power or control while completely ignoring or being ignorant of the negatives.
I’d be a medieval lord! …while ignoring plague and other untreatable diseases, dying of a minor injury that got out of hand, lack of medicine, no dentistry or incredibly painful attempts at it, odds many of your kids will die or your wife will during childbirth, wild superstitions, wars, manual labor, etc. Ah, the good old days.
