The Reverse Apocalypse: What If the World Isn’t Ending?

We’re constantly told things are worse than ever. Doomscrolling is a sport, headlines scream collapse, and everything from the air to the algorithm seems out to get us. But what if that story is wrong? In this episode, we zoom out and look at the numbers. Less violence. Longer lives. Cleaner air. Fewer kids dying. More people out of poverty. Yeah, really. This isn’t a TED Talk. It’s a mystery. Why doesn’t it feel like things are getting better… even when they are? Let’s unpack the quiet progress that’s hiding behind the noise, and the system that keeps us from noticing it.
