How not to be ignorant about the world | Hans and Ola Rosling

3:50 ooh dumber than Americans.
Hannah Ritchie's 'Not the End of the World' book brought me here
9:04~16:04
Your book is better than Prozac!
I have seen many uneducated standup comedians making jokes about how the world is doing in a completely negative. This is the only person I have who gives optimistic vibes on present and future in a very sarcastic way. Kudos to you, sir.
I love the idea 💡 of passing a standardized "social literacy" test for job interviews; reminds me of employers using a personality/honesty pre-screen test & claim there aren't any right answers (and there aren't but employers can tweak & assign points based on what strengths they want the candidate to have for certain positions etc..) ANYhow-- just before this I was thinking 💡-- 🤔 hmm why not de-monetize the media, make it not for profit? 🎉 I wonder what would happen then
His Book "FactFulNess" is so great
I read it twice.😊
in here Y E S T E R D A Y
Coffee
I wish people would get a test before voting😅
What I've noticed is that "science" expects not to be questioned.
There is a flaw in regards to the income. The buying power as changed over the years. I was able to buy more with $10 in 1975 than I can do in 2023. Sure, the amount of people with $10 of income increased, but how much does this change in regards to affordability?
6:03 - ladies and gentlemen, Hans has been given a stick... XD
This guy is so funny- enjoyed this!
from factfulness
Where can I get my certificate?
RIP Mr Hans, this was extremely interesting and he seemed like an amazing person. Sadly this is the first I've heard of him, but I'm glad some of his words have been preserved in video.
wow
As a Muslim knowing that you are scared from religions and understanding religion is someting that have a strong relationship with terrorism makes me sad. Hope that you will have better understandings on religions!
Love this guy. Pay attention to him, not the media.
I was reminded of the words: "lies, damned lies and statistics".
