Things that have been improving:

Global poverty rate (going down)
Global average lifespan (going up)
Global literacy rate (going up)
Global internet access (going up)
Global infant mortality and maternal mortality (going down)

The reality is, most of the world by many metrics is getting better over time. There are things that threaten this (climate change and increasing authorititarianism) and it has slowed, but overall we are still generally positive trajectory wise. In fact, I would say that in most metrics that matter, we are improving.

The planet is sleep walking into a global climate collapse and an global fascist era like nothing history has ever seen.

Pretending we're not because right now some graphs are curving up because of previous momentum is pretty dangerous.

I did say that healthcare is an exception and most of the stuff you mentioned is healthcare related.. When you're riding the rollercoaster up to the top of the hill, do you think it goes up forever? I don't think any of these positive trends are going to last longer than a generation at BEST.
