And there's still a stigma and taboo around it.

So we don't actually prosecute the men who are perpetrating these crimes very well.

And I say this to remind, because I have to say it to everyone, to remind people that the past that they romanticize is not as beautiful as they want it to be, especially for half the population, but also for a lot of other people.

And when they described the good old days, what they're actually describing were slivers, moments in time, memories that come flooding back that are really good because your mind wants to feed you good stuff that don't actually reflect much.

And

I do this almost every time someone wants to harken back to another time.

And I've got a lot of stats saved for a lot of different places in the world and a lot of different moments in time.

Pick your poison.

You had to contend with a whole lot of stuff.

They say nothing of the fact, by the way, that until 1950, a lot of children were crippled by a disease called polio.

I mean, you can't really – you could throw a dart at a dartboard and come up with a pretty awful thing that happened.

100 years ago or 50 years ago that we would be terrified of today.

And by the way, I feel this way about cars.

I'm shocked that 50,000 people die on the roads every year in the United States and that we've normalized it.

And I think in 20 years, we're going to look back and go, holy shit, I can't believe that happened.

But this again is why progress is so interesting because we update and normalize so quickly.

And in this moment in time, especially in the developed world, the negativity bias is plaguing us as a result of our media and the apparatus around which we have focused so much attention and it has fed us in turn all the terrible news.

We have built an entire ecosystem

enormous economy predicated on terrifying people feeding them the world's worst news constantly and then asking them why they're so sad and people like what how do you how do you avoid that news i don't watch the news yeah we've got a bunch of sources of information that i rely on some a lot of research a lot of like literal firsthand research white papers and

And a bunch of substacks that I now cherish where people tell me all the really exciting things going on in the world that we can celebrate.
