    Things that have been improving:

    • Global poverty rate (going down)
    • Global average lifespan (going up)
    • Global literacy rate (going up)
    • Global internet access (going up)
    • Global infant mortality and maternal mortality (going down)

    The reality is, most of the world by many metrics is getting better over time. There are things that threaten this (climate change and increasing authorititarianism) and it has slowed, but overall we are still generally positive trajectory wise. In fact, I would say that in most metrics that matter, we are improving.
