is a lack of perspective in some cases.
But parents also do suffer in the same way that we all do from some pretty interesting biases.
And one of them that really afflicts the boomers and the Gen Xs is the rosy retrospection.
This is a bias to believe that the past is much better than it actually was.
And of all the biases that these generations are afflicted by, and by the way, afflicted is the wrong word, but all the biases that these generations experience that I think don't serve them, this is near number one.
The negativity bias is probably either first or second next to it.
And rosy retrospection is a really funny thing because they will describe a past that is so good.
And then I have to remind them that in Los Angeles in the 90s, someone was murdered every nine minutes.
Today, it's less than one a day.
We describe these worlds that were so special and they were actually quite fucked up in lots of ways.
And by the way, Sonia, as a father of a daughter, every time I talk to women who want to tell me how great the past was, I remind them, by the way, until 1850, the average man buried a wife and the average mother buried a child.
Childbirth killed 40% of women.
And that was just normal.
That's why kings had so many wives.
Try again.
Moreover, the world was so physically unsafe that it was actually quite dangerous as a man to let your wife do much.
Because she was in so much physical threat constantly, especially as we started to industrialize and build cities.
And it is only through the surveillance, it is only through cameras, the proliferation of cameras, that we've actually created a really safe physical world, especially for women.
And by the way, in Australia and the United States, the most dangerous place for a woman is now inside her own home.
Domestic violence is the scourge for women in the developed world because it's the last place that we surveil.
