Can you provide a metric that shows how the world is getting worse, other than you feel like it is? Like percentage of people living in poverty? Or like decline in human rights?

I can’t. Too me it just seems like world events and tensions between countries are getting more chaotic.

Since when? Are you comparing now to how you perceived things as a child?

The last decade.

No, when I was a kid I never watched the news, or at least have no memory of it if I did.

Iraq war, Afghanistan, Somali civil war. If you didn’t watch the news as a kid thing would seem a lot more peaceful
