In the past few days, we heard about the discovery of a reachable Earth-sized planet located in the habitable zone around the nearest star. We witnessed the beginning of a new era in human spaceflight and saw revolutionary advances in artificial intelligence.

We were informed about the development and test of a doomsday device by Russia. Researchers build a sensor consisting of only 11 atoms and influenced monkeys’ decisions using ultrasound in their brains.

These are incredibly exciting, worrying, and extraordinary important news. Yet almost nobody has heard about most of these developments. And even those who came across this information just shrugged it off.

If you want to know what's wrong with the world, look no further.
