Is the world getting better or worse? A look at the numbers | Steven Pinker

An interesting view on current events by Steven Pinker.
Who talks about how his perspective has changed 15 years after publishing his book
"The Blank Slate: The modern denial of human nature."
Using statistics and facts that have long measured the aspects of human happiness he makes a clear stand on how we have progressed as a species.
And how this is reflected in our perception of progress as a whole.
Taking in account the media, the human brain, and the thoughts and ideas that shaped our views about progress.
