    It’s literally the safest time to be alive in any point in human history, but OK. People really need to take a break from the melodrama of the internet once in a while. We have many potential and very real threats to our future, but quite literally there are more people with opportunities in life than ever. There are fewer global conflicts than basically ever. There is less violent crime in the US, EU, and most of the world than ever. It doesn’t matter what it “feels like” out there, but the data doesn’t lie. What you are seeing is a much wider vantage point to the world than in generations past. These stories you’d never heard give people the impression things are nothing but doom and gloom, but for more people than ever, it’s quite the opposite.
