    Objectively, violence of all kinds has only gone down everywhere in the developed world since the 1990s. Crime, murder, theft, rape, etc, it’s never been a safer time to live in all of History.

    That doesn’t erase concerns about today’s very real challenges of course, but remember that our brains are hardwired to forget the bad things about the past faster than the good ones, and that the media don’t make money when reporting on good things.
