There’s less people living in poverty today than ever before. We all carry around super computers that connect us with our loved ones at all times and contain all of human knowledge. If you’re over 5’8 and weigh more than 145 pounds then you’re physically better off than the average US soldier during WW2. Diseases that used to kill millions every year are now close to eradication.
Don’t mistake your increased awareness of global issues as things getting worse. This is the best time in human history to be alive. Anyone telling you different is looking at a very specific aspect of the past with rose tinted glasses.
