It's not. It's an objective question that compares "how the world is" vs. "how people think the world is".
- aabeshou 6y agothe choice of metric that defines "how the world is" is where the subjectiveness lies, as my comment explains. the article was generally about "how bad the world is." if you find some result specifically about people's estimates of specific metrics, e.g. child mortality, poverty, etc, then we can have the discussion you're trying to have.
