The best stats you've ever seen | Hans Rosling

[@BlueJDMMR2]

What's the population of wild birds/insects/mammals look like during all these stats?

[@DarkGT]

@@BlueJDMMR2 During those years is unlikely for such data to have being recorded in large scale. Bird tracking with markers is newer occurrence. Why asking btw?

[@BlueJDMMR2]

@@DarkGT Hans Rosling is utterly ignoring the sad state of affairs the natural world is in, and btw when I say natural world I mean the parts of the planet that aren't (nor should be) utilized for any metric of human consumption or growth...all that human development, came at the cost of permanent losses in the natural world...and there's only so much natural world we can chew through. He's leaving out a very important elephant in the room when he openly discusses all his optimism. IMO he has a lot more in common with Greek Sophists who believe convicing their audience what their perception of reality is the most important aspect of argument and debate, instead of Socrates who argued in favor of reality and facts forming the bases of views and opinions on important matters.

[@shananagans5]

He is right. There are so many misconceptions about the world. I am a criminologist & there are huge misconceptions about crime & violence among the general population. This results in lots of money & effort being misdirected in attempts to make things better. This is very poor use of public funds. I find this rather frustrating. Most everyone wants to make the world a better place & that's a great thing but when the population doesn't understand the problems properly, efforts to improve things get misdirected. This is true for any field. We have to understand the problems properly before we can solve those problems efficiently but we seldom do that. Some problem or issue gets attention on the news & we end up getting bombarded with it. Then the population overall gets a skewed perception of the issues & we end up pouring money & effort into something that really is minor while we ignore serious issues because we aren't aware of them. I love what Hans Rosling does. He educates people & paints an accurate picture of the issues & that really is, or should be, the first step. We need an accurate understanding of issues to best decide where & what kind of help is needed.

[@kevinocta9716]

+shananagans5 Well said. Ignorance is a major problem for getting the right solutions to problems (if something even is a problem in the first place) and a data/evidence driven approach is by far the best way to identify and solve macro (and micro) problems.

[@shananagans5]

+Kevin Octacok lol Yea, that has become my pet peeve over the years. I am only an expert on criminal behavior, psychology & societal crime patterns but I know there is a huge amount of accumulated knowledge in the professional journals. Virtually anything you can think of has actually been properly studied. If you are familiar with proper scientific method, you can look up & understand studies on virtually any subject. If it's a field you aren't familiar with, you may need to look up a few terms or go a little slower but good information is out there if you look. It's like two people sitting on the steps of a library & arguing for hours about what the first sentence of the book Tom Sawyer is & never putting in the effort to walk in & look it up. The Tom Sawyer analogy is funny. Spending billions upon billions in taxpayer money on misguided attempts to reduce violence while well studied, evidence based programs go unfunded year after year isn't so funny.

[@kevinocta9716]

shananagans5 lol. Agreed completely.

[@rickyoldtree]

a rare spark of accurate insight mr shananagans .. amid a sea of ignorance.. it amazes me how many people hear Hans Rosling say these things, then make comment as if its just another interesting dinner party topic, if they could only remember properly.. rather than the most crucial and badly needed conversation we should be having, to re set the massive misconceptions fuelling todays political polarisation and inertia..!

1/3 off the world population starving may reach 2/3. Dump ocean water into dry rivers with ocean fish, have an ocean river, desal at farms, steam distiller a the kitchen sink, disinfected and salt free Collect America's lawn mower clippings for more cattle, new jobs. Instead we export corn and beef and have a storage and import meat from other countries Don't eat people, if it's time for cabalism as some are saying it's time for mass suicides, and don't eat them, no, you may not be a zombie. Stop eating people, plant cows eat chicken They tried to make viruses to eliminate half the world, they are unsuccessful, 65 percent of the world would say thanks for a synthetic opioid euthanasia drink by the 10,000 gallon vat, I could have done agenda 21 better 8 years ago If you won't be compassionate to the majority, nor will the the ruling minority to all. To them it is a matter of choice: Theirs Soon your cities will be without water, unless you hire people for US currency which costs the same to print as unemployment without a future and pump desalinated water from the ocean into river systems we're not being drawn to the sun, There's two black holes on the surface, whatever was gravitationally drawn to the core went there, and the overall gravity of the sun increased but it got hotter but we're moving away and angry solar flares and CMEs are coming after us for leaving. Heat pushes clouds causing flooding on other parts of this planet while coronal mass ejection and solar flares from magnetic connections from the sun to the earth are increasing. One day maybe it will arc weld this iron ball if we don't cross elliptical orbit line with the moon. Tell NASA about the moon and a year and a half later they make Moonfall. They should make a euthanasia for everyone who wants to go, or be stuck to endure the future even if you don't want to be here at all??? With the moon it'd be a tsunami one way and a volcano the other, the future of our relationship with the sun is a different issue However, 65 percent of the planet would take a synthetic opioid drink by the 10,000 gallon vat and say thanks, 1/3 off the world is starving to death, 5 percent need bones they can't or don't want to get replaced, 5 percent need organs they can't or don't want to get replaced, 5 percent are terminally ill 5 percent chronic pain, 5-10 percent never wanted to be here anyway, and everyone else will have a peaceful way to go when they want. There's no good way to go, some are 18 and 0 and going through death and not actually dying is not fun, some attempts are violent to go through. Instead of making a euthanasia available to everyone who wants to go they kill .08 percent of the world population in two years. Everyone was the target. I would have helped the 65 percent go 8 yrs ago. They're needs to be a peaceful easy way for everyone when they want to go. Guy saves 1M in state aid, paid 600k in social security, doesn't have to die every day, just gets to leave before suffering. The guy with the kids gets 800 k from Uncle Sam in life insurance he never signed up for and Uncle Sam keeps the other 800k. Free euthanasia. Cut inflation by more than half, more than doubled available resources. Have a job by a company which pays all the taxes and picks up grass clippings M-S to take it to fields now with cows on it, 4x your US cattle with lawn mower clippings from every years, save 2500 on property taxes and make sure your clippings are out in your neighborhood on Tuesdays Pump desalinated water from ocean wave current into river systems ASAP. It costs the same to print unemployment and section 8 as it fits a job with a paycheck that won't even take your house away Here's your check if you love your neighbors and don't want to leave your free housing, and here's your bigger check if you want to rent on the private market More confusing paint all the taxes making useful cool jobs, your paper actually goes somewhere and a quarter turns back into a dollar Dig out 10 ' of river bed and cast and set two 10' pipelines to being Atlantic ocean water to every house, use steam distiller for salt free disinfected water at the kitchen sink, dump waste water into sealed pipelines. It took a turn 2 years to dig out 10' of riverbed, everyone could be back to work working in every town and we'd be at with new infrastructure. Don't put salt in your water, have more salt for more roads in the winter. Send salt water straight to homes, they'll use a distiller for their few gallons of driving and cooking water and they're off toilet to tap loop. Use electrolysis for energy from salt water. At the very least, feed rivers with desal water immediately to quickly overcome drought shortages, no problem Make a grass and corn crop that grows in ocean water hybrid with say, oceanic grass root structures, best genetic corn crop growing in salt water in Texas and Arizona while you solar desalinate more oxygen and hydrogen into the air in a 24/7/365 grow season with ocean water and no weeds growing in salt water crops or lawns, fill your swimming pool with ocean water and water your lawn with salt water, don't put salt in your what salt water put it in the roads, use a small steam distiller made of glass and stainless to get disinfected and salt water free water for cooking and drinking, maybe an ocean let for your pool, were have to deal with ocean water rise, how about a Dolphin? Make more indoor fish farms, clean fish into a flash freezer, people eat fish, kid makes 90 k a year running fishing equipment not $9 an hour people eat well People could be cremated visible to the public and the smoke can be required in a gallon of water and the ashes and cement combined and people can be made into a concrete cast or flower pot. Otherwise, if they get cremated, without a filter, or dissolved in alkyld they go down a drain? And they had that place giving fake ashes and selling bodies Maybe you could make a wireless Tesla bridge (like when you touch a Tesla ball and the current comes towards you, though you are in the millivolts) to draw CMEs from to sub to say, Mars, maybe you'll stop the earth from frying A synthetic like fentanyl would be a good way for everyone to go who wants to go, instead they ban that and their next viruses will be upon them

Unfortunately he is not here today! Kudos! to his work and creating the awareness of how important these statistics are and the data with public's money and researches. He is second to none that I have heard or seen anyone who can present like him! Thank you..awesome video.

[@tate.andrew]

Rest in peace.🙌🏽

It's really interesting to see the video 12 years ago. Though the speaker was died 2 years ago(RIP), his presentation, the inside thought and his analysis are still inspire us.

Am I the only one who immediately thought of Agar.io after seeing the thumbnail?

[@chaze_1017]

XD I know right! That's the only reason I clicked this XD

[@HobodudeMCGaming]

Yes

[@pmessinger]

Do you know?

[@whatshendrix]

Wait, this isn't about Agar.io?

[@izabellasonier7444]

God, when agar.io was still a thing

[@DiZER99]

The man was talking about the ideas that are on top today (open data, data visualization and design) 20 years ago. What a vision, what a mind

[@thomast7794]

Can please someone create a 2021 version? This was great!

[@thomast7794]

Update: Google gapminder. It's a website focusing on questions similar to the one he asked about child mortality.

[@normamariaaflantyer]

I watched for my C1 course and love it. So sad he leaved this world. Rest in Peace.

[@kaartickramasubramanian1218]

Wow! Same as the previous comment! Once you start watching, can't stop. Beautifully done.

[@dracopticon7788]

This wonderful person have now passed away. Thank you for your many insights, Mr. Hans Rosling.

[@NedTheDread]

Oh he is so into it! He's making a great point, and this software is so helpful to explain data to people in a visual manner! Bottom line, he did a great job! Data is the only way to quantify things, and he is bringing all data together, great job sir Hans Rosling!! Great job indeed!

[@ronkirk5099]

RIP Hans. Your legacy will live on well past your limited time on Earth. I just read his book 'Factfulness' written along with his collaborators Ola and Anna so I had to watch some of his Ted talks also. What an inspiring person. If the 20 richest countries would commit

[@Sudip727]

We are now learning data science, today it is a hot topic but he knew it 15 years ago. He was such a visionary.

[@mohammadmohtasham5216]

an amazin presentation quite entertaining and powerful

[@hashirmoghal]

This man was excellent. Got here from "Communication in a Virtual Age" a subject on coursera.

[@spingbay7039]

RIP legend!

[@mattg109]

Told to watch this by my geography teacher at A-level, im glad i listened to him for once.

[@coconuthead1361]

Hot dang, you can really tell this is 2006. I mean look at that hardware!

[@jaydock1]

really amazing how much has changed since then!

[@IJ72]

+Julie Ogden yeah and still we have war hunger and stuff. Yeas so much better. Q:For whom? A: For rich ppl

[@jakem5039]

Especially the aspect ratio.

[@aesaphyr]

Actually that is not strictly speaking true. As you can see on the data here, things are already very good for rich people - proportionally, it hasn't really changed. However, 2014-2016 data shows that things are continually improving around the world for poorer countries. You can look up the Millenium Development Goals and the changes made over the past 15 years on these. Poverty has continued to go down, education is improving, healthcare is improving, mortality rates are improving... despite war and natural calamities. It could probably have improved a lot more if more people cared about making a global difference (instead of raving about closing borders and building walls), but the fact remains that actually, people working towards global development are making a steady change for the better.

[@IJ72]

True BULLSHIT

[@ahmadshauqijohara6665]

I just finished reading Han's book, "Factfulness" and towards the end of the book I just knew he wrote this book at the end of his live (together with his son and daughter-in-law). Looking at this video, you can see how passionate he is to ensure the world understands its data and makes good inferences out of them. And this was way back in 2007, he brilliantly came out with such an intuitive data visualization.
