> we're not making progress anywhere near fast enough in any of these areas.
Unfortunately it is true and I fully agree with this judgement.
We have already so much technology and yet there is still much poverty and misery in every country and NO (elected) government respects even the human rights.
Well, we could go on and both claim our statements are true. OR you just follow the link of my initial post and read a book that simply states facts published by the UN, and you would see for yourself that the rates of poverty, child mortality and mass inequality have become much better in the course of the last 30-50 years.
The only reason why both of our statements are true is because "fast enough" or "not fast enough" is a personal opinion.
I believe in the benefits of technology.
The reason for current misery is not only lack of knowledge (scientific) and technology (e.g. in psychology and psychiatry) but also lack of knowledge (economic) and bad morality as proven by the kind of societies and elected governments in 2018.
