Considering he's been so much about getting number right, he got several things quite wrong himself. He says: "Virtually all metrics measuring life expectancy, IQ, governmental corruption, poverty, racism, and women’s rights have been improving for decades—but no one seems to know it." According to the US census bureau poverty rates in the US have pretty much remained the same over the last 50 years [1]. While life expectancy has gone up. It actually has increased much slower in the US than in comparable countries [2] and did decline/stagnate in the last 5-10 years (not counting 2020 where there was a significant drop). Also IQ is correct over the long run, it's been not so straight forward over the last 10 years. Income/wealth inequality ( he doesn't mention) should probably also be in that list and has been declining.
