Let's stop with the doomscrolling. We're living in an age of unprecedented wealth, with millions entering the middle class every year.

People live longer than ever before, with better nutrition, and better medicine than ever in our history.

This is also the most peaceful time in our history, with record lows in crime and wars.

The developing world is surging in wealth and in the west we have more opportunity and access to information than ever.

a legally blind 78-year old man who, immediately after surgery, was able to once again distinguish his family members and read numbers on an eye chart

I wonder if synthetic eyes could ever surpass natural ones. Could we have optical zoom? IR/ UV vision?
