That it seems to me like Americans ((I assume you're US, otherwise insert the country/continent you're thinking of) generalizing back at you, there are probably plenty of exceptions both ways) are refusing to see that the reality in aggregate is quickly getting worse, because certain aspects of it is getting better.

It seems you have no distinction between hope and faith for the future, you can't work for trying to improve the future (for example with Bitcoin) unless you actually believe there is a high probability of it going well. (In trading, this is of course literally true, but that's not what I'm talking about)
