Looking at it another way, the USA has saved 126 million lives since 1980 [1]. Yet I've heard scarcely any recognition of this in the media, until it could be used to cast blame.

- TimorousBestie 1y agoYour “very basic math” is a negligent application of linear extrapolation. The effective altruists have been trying to measure lives saved by interventions for a decade. It’s a very hard problem. Anyway, the rest is moot. There’s no account anyone else can give as to the content of your own media diet. If you’re unhappy with it, you should read/watch/consume something else.
