Why the World Is Better Than Ever\u2014and Will Get Better Still<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

In the last hundred years, we\u2019ve seen the average <\/span>human life expectancy nearly double<\/span><\/span>, the global <\/span><\/span><\/span>GDP per capita rise exponentially<\/span>, and <\/span>childhood mortality drop 10-fold<\/span><\/span>.<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the hands of smart and driven innovators, science and technology take things which were once scarce and make them abundant and accessible to all.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
This means making sure every single person in the world has adequate food, water and shelter, as well as a good education, access to healthcare, and personal freedom. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
This might seem unimaginable, especially if you tend to think the world is only getting worse. But given how much progress we\u2019ve already made in the last few hundred years, coupled with the recent explosion of information sharing and new, powerful technologies, abundance for all is not as out of reach as you might believe.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span>\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

The Path to Abundance<\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/b>Eager to create change, innovators armed with powerful technologies can accomplish incredible feats. Kotler and Diamandis imagine that the path to abundance occurs in three tiers: <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Basic Needs (food, water, shelter) <\/span><\/li>\n
  • Tools of Growth (energy, education, access to information)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Ideal Health and Freedom<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n
    Many people don\u2019t believe it\u2019s possible to end the persistent global problems we\u2019re facing. However, looking at history, we can see many examples where technological tools have unlocked resources that previously seemed scarce. <\/span><\/div>\n

    <\/span><\/div>\n
    Technological solutions are not always the answer, and we need<\/span> social change and policy solutions as much as we need technology solutions. But we have seen time and time again, that powerful tools in the hands of innovative, driven change-makers can make the seemingly impossible happen.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
