As mentioned by other commenters, this stuff gets political real quick, and you should look at the framing effect [0].
I applaud any effort to fight misinformation, but I'm concerned that your agenda of optimism comes across as an attempt to sweep serious issues under the carpet.
I'd suggest reading some academic papers about how to conduct surveys, and how to interpret them.

- sdht0 5y agoPerhaps it was not clear enough, but I'm not associated with the project. The "agenda of optimism" is completely my interpretation as well. As to the other concerns, this is not a traditional survey whose results are to be used seriously. The questions are meant to educate that many of us live with outdated notions of the state of the world. If you watch the talks, they show how even "experts" at the universities and world organizations such as the World Health Summit [0] fail to be better at the questions than a group of chimpanzees answering randomly. I should have been more careful with my enthusiasm here. So the faults are all mine. I encourage everyone to explore the link and the talks and form their own opinion.
