  Are we living dangerously—or just thinking we are? We’re told the world is drowning in violence. The truth? We’re swimming in data that proves the opposite. In 2024, researchers stripped away the myth: homicide rates in Europe and the U.S. have nosedived since the 1970s. Yet headlines scream chaos, politicians peddle panic, and we’re left clutching our phones, convinced society is collapsing. Why?  Fear is the ultimate distraction—cheap to manufacture, priceless to control. 1. THE HIDDEN TRUTH: Violence Is Down, Fear Is Up A. The Numbers Don’t Lie Europe : Homicides halved since the 1990s ( Eurostat ). USA : Murders dropped 50% since 1990—despite a booming population ( FBI ). France : Still in Europe’s top 15% for homicide rates, but improved (1.8 per 100,000 in 1970 → 1.1 today,  INSEE ). B. Why Violence Is Fading Education : More classrooms = fewer gang recruits.

Pourtant, une solution existe –  validée par la science , mais  étouffée par les médias et les pouvoirs en place  :  la méditation comme outil de transformation massive de la conscience humaine . 1. Le Système est Cassé : L’Échec des Révolutions Extérieures A. Les Inégalités Sont une Maladie Chronique Hier  : Les serfs travaillaient pour les seigneurs féodaux. Aujourd’hui  : Les travailleurs sont exploités par les GAFAM et les fonds d’investissement. Les solutions traditionnelles (politique, économie) échouent  : Les cryptos ? Devenues un jeu pour spécula...
