In this episode, we explore whether modern society is actually solving more injustices than it creates—despite widespread pessimism about the future. Drawing from history, we look at how injustice was once the default condition of human life, and how today’s systems—though imperfect—offer unprecedented tools for redress and reform. From coerced labor and systemic brutality to algorithmic bias and executive overreach, we examine how far we’ve come, where risks remain, and why the arc of justice still bends forward.
