Yeah. My point is not to sweep real problems under the rug. But it is to push back against some of the narratives I see from people arguing that things are literally the worst they've ever been, and bound to get catastrophically worse, barring a complete upending of our entire society. This is just negativity bias and motivated reasoning writ large.
