People in the west are not worse off than before but their improvement is a lot less spectacular than in poorer countries. When you lose your sense of exclusiveness the suffering can be real. That’s how the human mind works.

Most of us weren't pessimistic until Trump came along. Let's see some data on that.

Republicans were pessimistic when Obama was in. Democrats were pessimistic when Bush was in and also would have been if McCain had been President. Pessimism is related to feelings of hatred or fear toward leadership, not science.

Isn’t it possible there there are metrics not captured that alter the rosy picture? Say, increased existential dread as people have easier lives and more time to think? I worry a complacency from this data could cause us to miss cracks in the dam.
