    Most historical and statistical evidence shows that life used to be shorter, sicker, poorer, more dangerous, and less free. Yet majorities in fourteen countries believe that the world is getting worse rather than better: http://nyer.cm/BOZPbML pic.twitter.com/NuGwvDaLXV

        The feeling is that we are heading toward a relative minimum (not a global one). Forget long term history, think about the last 3-4 decades. This is not that hard.

        It can be simultaneously true that (1) things are better than in most of recorded human history (which was mostly shitty-both meanings) and (2) things are getting worse now. Signed, Someone paid good money for me to understand this shit.

        Steven Pinker’s latest book, Enlightenment Now, The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress...a worthy read on this subject.

        Interesting read. Our memory is most definitely selective and our intuitive capacity to compare past & present is simply unreliable. Which ultimately plays to the hands of politicians who heavily rely on scare tactics, as we’ve seen in recent years.

        Individual lives are better overall, but at a huge, arguably unsustainable, cost to the planet. And the jury's still out for the long term benefit to human life of the recent gains.

        And news outlets like the New Yorker are a leading cause for why people might think that.

        The message hasn't changed. The delivery and the Like button have made everything black or white, jejune if you will. We put more emphasis on our own biases and find a supportive community of like minded biased people very, very quickly to amplify our aforementioned biases.

        What the article states has always been true. Things have been getting better in every way for humans on this planet for a thousand years, and everybody always thinks they're getting worse. Now if you're other than human, you may have a legitimate gripe with the turn of events.
