This is exactly what stops us from striving for better - sticking our heads in the sand and assuring ourselves there’s no problem, nope, it’s fine. People are not going to be motivated to solve a problem they don’t believe exists. This is exactly the goal of the “it’s all fine” people (e.g. Pinker), as well, they want us to stop spending on helping out the poors because, look, they’re really doing much better anyway, so why bother?
