Is the World Getting Better or Worse? 🌀 A Look at the Numbers.
Relevant to my last post, "Thankfulness that history is mostly, history," and @vimukthi's; "An exercise of gratefulness; taking a look at history and our luxuries and building a better world through positive change," I thought this recent TED talk with psychologist Steven Pinker was appropriate. It covers both the improved standard of living around the world, why we don't see it, and a few ideas for how we can.
The eternal optimist ;)
where's @dhouse?
Working on it!
He posted today finally.
Yes! Thank you! We often see the news or social media and think life is so bad. In ways, yes, but overall we are moving forward. Funny, it is almost as if a sovereign being is orchestrating gradual changes. ;)
Yw! It would be funny if not so serious, or would it be serious if not so funny?!
Better, according to Aryeh Kaplan onto the Massiach's era... And I believe it, even if my own country is devastated as never befor in our history...
Your country is going through an anomalous period, that I hope will correct and end soon. I'm happy you have the strength and wisdom, and support to stay safe.
As for Moshiach, soon and in our days... B'Ez"H!
And our duty is to spread this wisdom to all anusim and gentle, no matter their religion or political creeds.
Let the desire and kli continue to grow...
I believe things are better in many ways. I consider myself to be an optimistic realist. I feel advances in medicine have vastly improved lives. When I was young (50 years ago) there was not much in the way of asthma control. I have lived thru the evolution of asthma medicines. I feel technology can help produce a better world if we dont kill ourselves first lol.
The improvement in medical technology and techniques sure is amazing. I can't even recall the last time I saw someone use one of those ventolin? things.
We won't kill ourselves. There are two simultaneous streams, the path of pain and the path of honey. People and nations are on both, but there is no question that we are going somewhere...
