"When the median becomes great" is doing a lot of work there. If it isn't true, and I've never seen evidence to that effect, as it has gone on and on that way for ...decades, then we're really just doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
- deanCommie 3y agoOver those "decades", the median has absolutely risen dramatically, across the entire world. Generations of historically poor and disadvantaged people have been lifted worldwide. Literacy rates, secondary education, and post-secondary rates across the human population are dramatically higher than they have been in the days of our parents. That has created it's own problems - student loan debt, overeducation, wasted degrees, and so on. But I don't understand how you can claim there is no evidence to this effect. The evidence is all around us.
