Controlling our biases towards the present

While we may never see the present as perfect, we can learn to control our biases.

• Acknowledge how the media shifts our perceptions. It can make the present look worse than in the past.
• Take a realistic view of history and compare it with the present.
• Take stock in what we do have. We are making progress socially and scientifically, a feat that would have been impossible a hundred years ago.
