Yes! So much this. It's ridiculous just how much people don't realize how much better things are now than at any point in the past.

Yes, democracies are cracking under strain.

Yes, wars are happening that could spill over to larger areas and cause serious harm.

Yes, social media and lack of truthfulness is a huge issue.

Yes, global warming sucks and we need to do more.

But still, on so many measures, things are better than they ever have been, and trending in positive directions.
