Don't give up, the world is making more progress than we think.

If I have to summarize the world at this moment, I think about
- the horrible situation in Sudan
- the shocking situation in Gaza, Westbank and Jordan
- the ridiculous situation in Iran

To recover from this, I regularly open the book Factfulness by Swedish physician Hans Rosling.

He shows us how much progress the world still makes, Every Single Day.

J’ai commencé le livre #factfulness, saine habitude de fonder son opinion sur des faits, de Hans Rosling avec Ola Rosling et Anna Rönnlund.

Je suis à peine meilleur qu’un chimpanzé au premier test...

« Comment marche cette « illusion globale » ? Pourquoi les cerveaux de tant de gens font-ils des erreurs d’interprétation systématiques sur l’état du monde ? »

In questi tempi è importante ricordarsi che conviene sempre approfondire, studiare e pensare con la propria testa, e poco male se si commettono errori.

#Factfulness is an utter crap book. No wonder Gates and other promoted it. The 4 levels of income are a false ground to start its reasoning. Level 4, $32+ an day includes all millionaires and vastly shifts things.

Looking back on it after I read it I think late 2020: yes, vaccines, health and such did improve. Yet health, economy inclusion and many more are not a globally accepted human right. On paper maybe.

Financially wise these days it’s more like do you want Fuggers or Medici back.

#Factfulness... to better understand the world and make better decisions based on #FACTS (!) and not beliefs, one needs good and well explained #data

The biggest problem today, is not #climateChange, it is not #carbonEmissions, it is not #poverty, it is not #hunger, it is not the ongoing #biodiversityGenocide, it is not even #war...

#FactFulness ➟ Escrito antes de la pandemia del #Covid

Y en su texto aparece como 1 de los 5 grandes riesgos de efectos masivos: algunos de ellos aplican para resarcimiento de perjuicios mediante #gestionActuarial

También hacen referencias a otras pandemias 🦠

Factfulness - Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World and Why Things Are Better Than You Think is a book written by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, and Anna Rosling Rönnlund.

Factfulness is all about knowing the difference between dramatic narrative and actual facts. Everyone gets bombarded with bad news every day making our world seem to keep getting worse. The authors present 10 steps to stay open-minded avoid excessive negativity and search for the real facts. They have also built Gapminder to keep fighting misconceptions by providing reliable data.

In my opinion this is a book that must be read by everyone. The authors display data which proves that our world is becoming a better place year after year. It's also a fact that our world is not perfect but I think it gives hope for a much better future.

Als ich mich in letzter Zeit vermehrt mit Good News beschäftigt habe, bin ich auf das spannende Buch #Factfulness und das Online-Projekt #Gapminder gestoßen. Mit beiden Angeboten zeigen Hans #Rosling und seine Familie, wie man mit #Statistiken einen besseren und genaueren Blick auf die Welt bekommt.
