I wanted to take a nice break to record an optimistic episode. Despite the tone of many of my episodes criticizing media members, politicians, governments, and others, I still firmly believe this is the best time to be alive in human history. Fewer people around the world go hungry or thirsty than ever before. Fewer children around have to work than ever before. The internet has made it easier than ever to gain skills and learn more about the world around you. We know more as a species than ever before. That knowledge is more readily available than ever before. We publish more books and record more music than at any point in human history. It is easier for poor people to afford modern conveniences than ever before. I can go on and on, but I think you will enjoy this episode if you’re desperate for some good news in a news environment that is pessimistic to a fault. This episode was recorded May 7, but released early in the morning on May 9.
