>> You see their dark side and Do not see their bright side.

I see reality as it is today. Pretty simple.

Somehow you think Giving people free stuff procured from the efforts of other people brings out the best in humans.

I see it exactly as the opposite. Giving people free stuff makes them dependent and leads to them demanding even more free stuff... which brings out the worst of humans... once again, Look at Chicago which has significant problems despite all the welfare.

"by and large people are getting kinder as they become wiser"

If kindness and comfort are, as I suspect, the results of an energy surplus, then, as the supply contracts, we could be expected to start fighting once again like cats in a sack. In the presence of entropy, virtue might be impossible.

George Monbiot
