Rates of violence and poverty at all time lows
We are duped into believing we’re surrounded by violent, mindless, conspiratorial dumb asses. That’s how sensationalist media works. It’s actually the best time in our recorded history to be alive, and despite the best efforts of a few shitlords, that probably won’t change. All you can do is what your father told you. “Do your best.” That’s how dad did it. That’s how America does it

Americans are actually the smartest people in human history
I won’t explain how, I’ll just remind you that you aren’t speaking German or waiting in a bread line

That you can't see the rampant idiocy around you in Texas in public illustrates the issue. Big blind spot. Our society is not engineered to produce the best except as a smallish enclave rife with nepotism and sheer idiocy a la Fauci.
Speaking of him, a case in point. Major public health expert, jocularly parrots sophomoric undergrad myth about masks not blocking ANY virus particles. Which was basically educational propaganda so docs and viral researchers don't think of themselves as invincible without the proper safety wear. The man singlehandedly builds the pandemic antimask movement's base of plausibility, costing tens of thousands of lives, because he wanted to quip from sophomore year to a journalist.
Literally a child in high technocratic office, who makes the greatest public health blunder in modern history. Never called out by either "side" definitively, no accountability at all, as nobody is science literate enough, not even the "high" writers you read, to even be in the ballpark of reality even after a year of educational runway. No, we're terrifyingly stupid and you would never hear what I am saying from one of the stupid people around you. It's a nice machine, but we surely don't deserve to be at the helm of this society. We are no where near the people who built it. The gains we enjoy, which you list, are theirs.
