Progress does not mean that everything becomes better for everyone everywhere all the time.

ted talk: Is the world getting better or worse? A look at the numbers. Stephen Pincker

Progress is made

Why don't people appreciate progress?

nature of journalism, they decide what the reader will think/panic about for the rest of the day. (Negative news)

Subonderwerp

cognitive psychology, we estimate risk by using a mental shortcut called the availability heuristic

All these gains have made us happier

universal literacy has increased and doubled in the past 100 years

we have become safer in almost every way

more than ever, is the world ruled in democrazies.

life expectancy has increased massively in the past years

If things that influence the human well-being, like life, health, sustenance, prosperity, peace ,freedom, safety, knowledge, leisure and happiness have increased in the passed time progress is made.

the news is focused on negativity

the bad/ negative things come in the news

bad things happen quickly

negative things are seen as interesting

there are bad/ negative things happening every day

the good/ positive things are barely mentioned in the news

It takes time, before good things happen.

things that don't happen, won't be in the news. There is peace for 40 years, won't be reported.

positive things are seen as normal, so not interesting

there are good/ positive things happening every day

Steven Pincker believes

Human nature is the problem of our well being, but the solution too.

we will never live in a perfect world

it would be dangerous to seek one

the world still suffers but there are a lot of ideas on how to make the world suffer less.

we don't have to be afraid

the world as a whole is getting better.

Pessimism

Fatalism

Enjoy life right now for tomorrow we die. Why throw good money after the bad?

Radicalism

If things are failing, destroy everything so whatever rises from the ashes is bound to be better than we have now

The world is getting worse

The world will end soon due to climate change or runaway artificial intelligence
