Feel like it’s time for a thread providing statistics to prove that the world is getting better 1/11

Global Wellbeing is at an all-time high 2/11

Happiness has not changed since 1970, despite some people trying to tell you the decline of religion has made us all suicidal (*cough* @tomcolsy99_) 3/11

Suicides appear to be falling 4/11

Democracy is thriving 5/11

We’re seeing more peace than we’ve ever seen before 6/11

The war on famine is being won 7/11

Childhood stunting is being dying 8/11

We’re living longer across all ages groups 9/11

And overall everyone is living longer 10/11

So, next time anyone tells you that economic decline exist just show them this thread. And read Enlightenment Now by @sapinker , Progress by @johanknorberg and the Rational Optimist by @mattwridley 11/11
