We Are Not in an Era of Decline.

The world is at the start of a golden age. Every year is better. Every day is better. Every single day that passes leads to less poverty, more vaccinations, healthier lifespans, and more freedom throughout the world. Some will try and tell you otherwise, but the facts of the matter speak for themselves.

It remains that there is much to do, but there will always be much to do. No matter how much we do, there will be more to do. Yet, in the last two decades, extreme poverty has been cut in half. Not only that, we have a larger population, and we have reduced the number of people in poverty. The earth will not collapse with 10 billion people. In fact, if 100 billion people existed today, they would be fed and clothed, and the earth would not be collapsing. In the past 10,000 years, everything that humanity could want has improved. Access to clean water, access to healthcare, literally anything you can name has improved. Comparing what you have to the best of what is available is not the same as comparing what you have now to what was available 20 years, 50 years, or 100 years ago. In the West, the richest of us 100 years ago had less access to many things we take for granted than an uneducated tradesman does today.
