Enlightenment Now
by Steven Pinker
"Progress is not the same as perfection, and there is much room for improvement."
Summary
A data-driven argument that life has improved dramatically across almost every measure: health, wealth, safety, freedom, knowledge. The catch: these improvements are often invisible because they happen gradually.
Why This Fits LindyFact
Comprehensive evidence that the news cycle distorts our perception of actual human progress.
