50 years on, we need Star Trek’s optimism more than ever

I know it’s hard to see this when the media is milking our amygdalae for fear and anxiety, but the world actually has never been better.
Of course, there will be problems, just like we had problems in the past that seemed like the end of the world, but the trend is clear, and statistics confirm this — we are on the path of prosperity and peace.
I’m not saying we should sit on our butts waiting for the promised land to come, no, it will take effort and time, but we will get there, eventually.
There’s a great book about why it seems like the apocalypse is tomorrow, when actually it’s not so bad, it’s called Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think, highly recommend.
