Most of us are wrong about how the world has changed (especially those who are pessimistic about the future)

"This pessimism about what is possible for the world matters
politically. Those who don’t expect that things get better in the first
place will be less likely to demand actions that can bring positive
developments about. The few optimists on the other hand will want to see
the necessary changes for the improvements they are expecting."
