    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/uoMXA28 pic.twitter.com/WlLY1In7HX

        We used to have less access to news. We had our paper and radio and the nightly news broadcast. We now know about tragedies world wide as they happen. We have to deliberately seek out good news or images of pets or other positive things to counterbalance it all.

        On the bright side we are in contact with people throughout the world and that has been invaluable. I suspect we worry that things like climate change or pandemics can destroy the progress we've made. It feels like our good fortune can't last.

        We view this because our ancestors suffered, sacrificed, and relocated so we could have better lives. Plus they lived in an upwardly mobile world that gave them hope for us even if they struggled and/or suffered. We are on a downward, gloomy trajectory. That is the difference.

        Indeed it's propaganda. The whole "extreme poverty" meme is complete bunk.

        Lies: "In the United States, fewer people are poor, while elsewhere in the world, and especially in Asia, billions fewer live in extreme poverty, defined as an income of less than a dollar and ninety cents per day."

        Anyone at the New Yorker checked the weather lately? Covering the wildfires and floods raging around the world have you? Paid attention the floods of refugees? We’re on the verge of destroying the planet. This is better?

        It's possible we believe that theory because we have instant information.

        That's because they are getting lazy, without a purpose.
