The world is actually pretty great, and most people are good

the world is pretty great. it's literally the best it's ever been in all of history. quality of life is the best ever, we have a connected world where we all share knowledge and communicate with each other, we have access to technology that our grandparents think is magic, we're living longer, we're eradicating diseases one after the other, we're inventing insane treatments for disabilities and diseases that let people live better lives, we're more prosperous than ever before.

and most people are decent. crime rates are declining. wars and war deaths are declining. There's literally less people out there who are murdering others or robbing others or assaulting others than in the past.

edit 1: wow RIP my inbox.

some points: 1) maybe I should have said the world is "better" and people are "better". Obviously "great" and "good" are kinda meaningless, but the world and people are better than any point in history. 2) yeah, bad things still happen. duh. everyone posting "lol but what about Hong Kong/ISIS/pedophiles", yeah, obviously bad stuff still happens. I explicitly explained that. The existence of bad things doesn't mean the world isn't better than ever before.
