It's been proven over and over again that this is the most peaceful period in our history.
The distribution of wealth is broken and getting worse, but that shows that the system needs to be tweaked rather than it being broken.

I can see us decentralising governments and companies, moving to a universal basic income and contributing to local, regional, and global democracy.
We're already seeing a movement to borderless and decentralised currencies which are outside of government control. We also have decentralised and autonomous organisations.

Most of N. Africa and the Middle East is on fire. West Africa and parts of East Africa are not much better.
Throw in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India and of course N.Korea and we have a very peaceful period in history.

Obviously Syria is a shark storm and we should be doing all we can to bring in refugees from that place. Things are bad, that is obvious, but it's worse than it has been historically because we're better informed, in real numbers it's better. It's still horrible and I don't want to dismiss anything with numbers.
