Amazing to me how many commenters here are looking at a successful government initiative that’s massively improved survival rates for a number of diseases, and the takeaway they can’t wait to share with the world is, but the name is dumb.
- avgcorrection 5y agoIt's a general attitude. Not restricted to some agency or initiative.
- specialist 5y agoWe live in an age of miracles. I just don't get it. All the complaining about our society's lack of progress. Wut? Maybe it's corporate media; cynicism, fear, outrage. Maybe it's growing inequity; hard to appreciative living hand-to-mouth. Maybe people will settle down after we reach the next plateau; Society always freaks out for a few decades when technological progress shakes the ant farm. It's too bad. -- My one prescription for people (individuals) getting an (positive) attitude adjustment is go find the Milky Way. Mountain top, away from city lights, cold clear night, no moon. The entire night illuminated by star light alone. It's hard to not have an overwhelming sense of awe while looking up at the Milky Way. It's hard to believe we have all the answers when you're just hanging out with the stars.
