But this is just not true.

I know it doesn't feel like it when you get on Twitter or turn on the news, but human beings are far nicer to each other today than they have ever been in history.

Violence, poverty, and bigotry are all on gargantuan, multi-century downward trends.

The evidence is clear that human behavior can change.

Every period claims they are better than before. Only future generations can truly determine the actual degrees objectively.

we are capable of making measurements now, and they show undeniable, massive improvement. i'm not even sure what your objection is, it's like questioning what addition means when someone tells you 2+2=4
