The world really is getting better:
Since yesterday:
Life expectancy went up by 9.5 hours
137,000 came out of poverty
305,000 got safer water
295,000 got electricity
620,000 got online for the first time

Just to be clear, it doesn't mean that there are no problems – there are lots of problems still to fix – but it means that we can tackle them, knowing that we're mostly solving more problems than we're creating
But *not* knowing that the world in many ways is getting better means we become unjustifiably pessimistic and are likely to ignore the many cheap and effective ways we can help, instead focusing on feel-good, virtue-signalling but ineffective policies
It's sad you need to explain this.....
I guess they'll always be problems to fix but they'll be better problems as progress continues
Yes, we have liberals (the biggest threat now).
We're not solving more problems than we're creating. What gave you the idea we were? Because a fraction of people got water and WiFi?
Yes, and at the same time, ingratitude is an awful character trait, so sharing this info and being thoughtful about it is super super important.
I'm confused how these show we're not creating more problems than we're solving. This is a small sample size of some stuff. Good stuff. Encouraging stuff. What it doesn't show is a vast majority of other-stuff, which would be required to "know" we're not creating more problems.
I say let's encourage and share great news like this. It's great! But I also say let's not make claims that aren't necessarily true, because that is ignoring potential reality just to feel good. Saying "the world is getting better" based on like four stats seems... unscientific.
This sounds like an extremely inflated set of stats.
