The science behind thinking things are worse than they really are
An article in the journal "Nature" titled "The Illusion of Moral Decline" argues that the perception that things are going downhill is heavily influenced by the way our brains work, particularly, two well-established psychological phenomena. Adam Mastroianni, experimental psychologist and author of the piece, joins CBS News to break down his findings.

Life is simply a story you tell yourself. Make it a good one.
How many people took that study, where did they live?
A thought I have is aren't our brains hardwired for negatives in the evolution of survival?
Positive message.
Mind-blowing
Things are worse than before? Is it a bad thing to want to live in a non-corrupt country? To be able to buy a nice house under 80k? We can't keep convincing ourselves that the times that we live in now are are nicer than the times before. That's not true.
I think that people are basically good and basically kind. Better than 50%
“This is normal, dont grow frustrated. Stop wanting more”
Lies😊

Hopium is hilariously naive. 😂😂😂
Or is it simply we are more cautious from a lifetime experiencing the decline in action.
Things ARE worst today (wholistically) than before. Thats not opinion, that an objective and obvious fact.

These comments literally support this concept. It's funny and sad.

Says the 'programmers' pfffft. BS
Anyone else curious as to why this is being done? This story? Don’t think it’s all bad, guys!!! Things are just fine… just the same!!! I don’t know if that’s accurate or not but I’m weary of the timing and purpose.

I’m just aware that multi billion dollar corporations have an interest in what stories are fed to people or do you believe that major media companies aren’t influenced and guided by corporate interests?
