In this episode, we delve into the remarkable decline of violence and abuse over the past centuries, including reductions in rape, battery, and hate crime. We'll celebrate the transformative effects of humanitarian efforts like the women's liberation movement and the children's revolution. What principles have tamed our darker instincts?
