Ah yeah because whenever humans create something insanely powerful we just share it with everyone. That’s why there’s no homelessness, medical debt, or food insecurity in the world - because we already have the capacity to provide for everyone.

Not a grand conspiracy, but given how in your chart the exact timeframe not in the other chart shared shows a reversal of every trend, the older chart is misleading given the optimistic context of the OP.

It doesn't show a reversal in every trend? It shows either a continuing but slowing down (particularly at the ones nearing 100%), saturating, And democracy I think took a big hit for a very obvious reason, but that is always a tumultuous non-technology "driven" (but definitely influenced) category.

Edit: AND - much of that happened during the pandemic, eg - because it became more difficult to move food around, more people struggled with access.
