Past progress is often misunderstood

Future progress is underrated because past progress is misunderstood.

  • There are times when optimism is so great and so broad that we become blind to future risks
  • People tend to be optimistic about their own future but pessimistic about others. Most people you know are reasonably happy but suspicious over the direction of the country and its future. When people are cynical about others, a natural path is to discount what other people are capable of in the future.
  • Underestimating future growth, in general, is also a typical plot.
