Progress: the great untold story of our time

June 5, 2018 by Leo

Steven Pinker says ‘we’re apt to mistake the harms around us for signs of how low the world has sunk rather than how high our standards have risen.’ What does the data say?

The article is based on Pinker’s book, Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress. All media “evidence” to the contrary the world really is getting better, in measurable ways. Highly recommend Pinker’s book and other writings.
