As we care about more of humanity, weβre apt to mistake the harms around us for signs of how low the world has sunk rather than how high our standards have risen."

I finally finished reading the Steven Pinker new book. I was impressed by the number of charts and data that he used to explain his idea of how the world now is getting better, we are healthier than before, happier, wealthier, freer and we live longer (Agree, as a diabetic, I think I would be dead younger than now if I was born 100 years earlier π). The progress of science and technology made our life much better, but why we don't talk about that? Why the world seems to be a hell place? It's because the media in general prefer to talk about negative things, scandals, genocides, wars, oppression... People are not interested in knowing that in one city, there was no crime happening right now π. .

The humankind is constantly evolving, Steven Pinker see that populism is an obstacle in the progress way, he criticizes Donald Trump politics from declining climate change to racism and fascism behavior. And he think that humanism is the way to keep the progress goes on..

I liked this book, it feels good to see things from a new angle, to put yourself in the line of the historical events and realize that maybe we are born in the best time to be alive in. But to be honest I can't be as optimistic as Steven Pinker, I know he's a psychology profess in Harvard and he made an outstanding job collecting informations, but can we really win the battle against entropy ? That is the question I can't help myself but to ask for an answer for it π
