The human world is working pretty well in many respects - most inhabitants of the planet are being fed, clothed, sheltered and educated and billions of us have access to incredible connectivity. My point of view is, fairly obviously, humanist-scientific but I would defend this way of looking at the world. There's plenty of room for improvement of course but let's not overlook the incredible transformation in human life over the past 150 years.
