Means.tv has a weekly good news thing. Check it out!
I had never heard of that, but I love how part of their sales pitch is the negative review from Fox News.
This is the most depressing thread I've read for some time.
It's horrific to read some of the posts twisting bad news and making out as though it's good news. It's like the posters are watching children in a sandpit playing, ignoring the monster flood thats about to wash them away but taking joy in their play. Wtf?
Professor Boyd is right https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/07/un-expert-human-rights-climate-crisis-economy
Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’
And after reading this thread, i am even more sure Rees is
https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/06/14/opinion/science-civilization-collapse-environment-limits
Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”
You seem to have misunderstood the assignment
Negativity bias is real! I was reminding myself just today that for every act of hatred, there are ten thousand acts of love or kindness happening unreported all over the world. In homes, on the streets at the store...
Don't let the news get you down. Things aren't as bad as all that.
Kids are so much nicer than when I was in school. Not perfect, obviously, but really just so much nicer to each other.
I've noticed this with my kids' schools. Many kids are open about who they are - LGBT+, neurodivergent, mental illnesses, etc. - and people are generally accepting of that. When I was a kid, people were bullied relentlessly for showing any form of difference from "normal". It makes me happy to hear them talk about things like that like its no big deal...because it shouldn't be.
My niece attends school in a town with a population of less than 5k and even there she learned all about various different forms of sexuality and romantic interest just through conversations on the bus and was not only accepted but able to explore herself
Medical advancements. It's one of two topics that consistently delivers exciting news. The other is historical research and discovery.
Fwiw, this title would apply to any point in time in human history. We just have the internet now to exchange information about it with higher bandwidth and lower latency than ever. Just think about the cost of exchanging information with random individuals around the world even 30 years ago.
100 years ago you just said "Yeah, I'm sure all that's happening. So what? The world is big, I just stick to my little corner." Today we have an interconnected population of people who now recognize these things not only as problems, but as things that could/should be resolved.
China's economic boom
COVID research made generic sequencing for viruses and bacteria incredibly cheap. You can run a PCR test for most things now for $10 (USD) or less. This opens a whole world of highly specific diagnostics and cheap, hyper-personalized treatments.
Also, MRNA vaccines are being tested for several other diseases and it seems very promising.
millions of people in the third world are growing out of poverty thanks to the advance of technology.
Can you be a bit more specific? Which technologies defeat poverty where?
everything. There isn't one particular technology driving this. My hometown of İstanbul has been transformed. Modern buildings are replacing horrible slums, there are new subway lines opening every year and almost everything is improving over time.
Turkey is fact actually building infrastructure like china.
People in the US hard time understanding thatnthe world moving forward while we are wasting our lives at the airports and hihhway traffic without proper national infrastructure plan to fix any of this shit.
And before any of you bootlickers start yupping about biden state aid for parasites... Let's be real it is too late, too small, mainly focuses on corrupt highway construction, not enough maintenance, airlines bailouts and only then few bucks for rail to pacify "educated" crowd.
There is no plan, another generation of public investment looted. Hope y'all love that traffic and being treated like cattle at the airport.
Cheers!
