Are depressed people more realistic?

[junkyardboy]

1) reducing hunger helps lift people out of portions of poverty that would increase violence/war

2) technology from Musk and the space race helps improve everyone's lives

3) education and skepticism (Sagan, Randi, Tyson) encourage people to put aside less civilized responses

I shouldn't even be answering you, because those were stupid ass questions.

America and Russia had a nuclear arms race. We're still fucking here.

Also, those people were merely a list westerners are familiar with. We probably have no idea who's working on the inside in places like Korea.

you live in a dream world
poverty and famine are increasing
war and terrorism is increasing
financial collapse looms
is the world safer since the nuclear arms race?
your world is a cocoon
the real world is lead by governments of ultimate doomsday preppers
the uber rich and powerful preparing to survive the inevitable.
