As Steven Pinker said, “News is a misleading way to understand the world. It’s always about events that happened and not about things that didn’t happen. So when there’s a police officer that has not been shot up or city that has not had a violent demonstration, they don’t make the news. As long as violent events don’t fall to zero, there will always be headlines to click on…. Pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy.”[39]
