    The preponderance of evidence is that humans are generally, good, kind and helpful (most of the time). Our evolutionary superpower is fucking cooperation!

    I genuinely believe that - in spite of the if-it-bleeds-it-leads news cycle - humanity is rising to the challenges of our time.

    Our time is hard, but there are so many people working to improve the world. They don’t get into the news cycle, but they’re out there.

    Mr Rogers related a story about his mother, who told him that when he saw disasters on TV, to remember to “look for the Helpers.” They’re always there. No matter how bad things get, the Helpers seem to come out of the woodwork whenever aid is needed. Look for them.
