The myth of the good savage conveniently forgets that most, if not all of this things were present yet in spades in the primitive societies, with other names, but not so different in fact.

And people in those countries also live a safer life with modern medicine, airbags, concrete in buildings, modern roads or telephones that they don't developed. You can't take just the good parts of modern societies while claiming that those societies are evil and refusing to improve them. This is just hypocritical.
