"While we started the year slowly, the same is not true of the news. Things
feel insane. A reminder - while we’ve been following all that stuff too, you
won’t find any coverage of it here, because you’re already drowning in it. Both
legacy and social media are explicitly designed to show you what’s breaking,
what’s terrifying, what’s going wrong. We’re trying to offer a correction to
the distortion.
The stories you’re about to read are just as important, if not more so, than
the chaos currently dominating your feed, but they’re invisible because they
don’t generate the emotional charge required to break through. Progress doesn’t
spike cortisol. Disease elimination doesn’t trigger shares. That doesn’t stop
them from happening though.
This week: Iraq offers a counterpoint in the Middle East, trachoma exposure
falls below 100 million worldwide (down from 1.5 billion in 2002), coal power
drops simultaneously in India and China for the first time since 1973,
astonishing progress in the fight against cancer, and how conservationists
saved one of the world’s most beautiful species of antelope.
Our version of the news isn’t more true than the one you’re seeing everywhere
else, but it is a lot harder to find. If it helps, please share it!"
