Things that we read about in the paper with gory footage burn into memory more than reports of a lot more people dying in their beds of old age. There are dynamics in the opinion and advocacy markets: no one ever attracted observers, advocates and donors by saying things just seem to be getting better and better.
Coisas sobre as quais lemos nos jornais com cobertura sangrenta fixam mais na memória do que os relatos de mais gente morrendo de velhice enquanto dormem. Existem dinâmicas nos mercados de opinião e defesa de causas: ninguem jamais atraiu observadores, defensores e doadores por dizer "Parece que as coisas estão cada vez melhores."
