The Antidote to Doom-Scrolling: Intelligent Optimism & Global Progress | Angus Hervey
Are we paralyzing ourselves with bad news? In this episode of Radical Truth, host Robert Rubinstein is joined by Angus Hervey, political economist and founder of Fix The News (formerly Future Crunch).
Angus reveals the "radical truth" about the media's obsession with "doom and gloom" and why it’s a barrier to real-world action. We explore the data-driven case for Intelligent Optimism—an evidence-based approach to the world that highlights massive, overlooked wins in clean energy, global health, and poverty reduction. If you want to understand how "hope as a verb" can drive sustainable finance and ESG integration, this is the conversation you need to hear.
Key Insights for a Better Future:
11:20 – Why the human brain is wired for bad news (and how to hack it).
23:45 – Fix The News: The most compelling data points on global progress in 2026.
35:10 – From Paralysis to Action: How Intelligent Optimism fuels sustainable investment.
48:30 – Changing the Story: Why the stories we tell ourselves determine our future.
