Lately, it feels like the US, and maybe the world, is unduly focused on what is happening in the realm of politics, instead of the amazing things happening in technology and science. This isn't new. I really enjoyed this post on why that is a mistake. Check it out if you feel like a dose of optimism amid all the political polarity!

"Though we tend to see history as just one political event after another, it’s technology and ideas, not politics, that change our lives the most. History should reflect that."
"An understanding of the past in which not just our intellectual successes but our technological breakthroughs occupy pride of place would be very different from the political one that dominates now. Instead of politics and war, and the growth, rise, and decline of states and empires being the focus, the central story would rather be one of human cooperation and inventiveness, innovation and scientific and technological progress and discovery, and the improvement in human well-being than the deeds (often diabolical) of those with power.
The important figures would no longer be rulers, generals, prelates, and revolutionaries but scientists, entrepreneurs, and businessmen and -women. It is people like Joe Sutter, Juan Trippe, and Alexander Graham Bell who would be remembered."
