#hansrosling — Public Fediverse posts

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 ? »

These days I have to remind myself again of this #quote by Hans Rosling in #Factfulness: "Remember: things can be bad, and getting better." With the news from #Ukraine, #Israel and other conflicts I sometimes doubt it, but I believe* that when we take a birds-eye-view of decades and taking the whole world into consideration, not just specific hotspots, it's still true. And I still have hope for the future of humanity. Which is what we need to inspire us to *act* to ensure that the world will continue to get a better place, instead of saying that the world is burning and giving up.

I put the larger context of the quote into the image and its alt text.

* Footnote: I said "believe" but the whole point of Hans Rosling is that we should look at the numbers and long-term trends. I'm not sure if there's reliable data already to put the last two years into perspective, I think for that we will have to wait a bit.

Earlier this year, I took on blogging again, reviewing one book from my Data Viz Bookshelf every week.

Here's my first post, from back in January - about how I (like many) learned to love data storytelling with Hans Rosling.

During discussions and talks I sometimes mention Hans Rosling and his book #Factfulness. Just stumbled over his hilarious talk again from 2006, where he comments statistics like a sportscaster, explaining our biases about the developing world. Watch it, if you haven't!

Weil ich heute Links zu Hans Rosling, Gapminder.org und so rausgesucht habe:

Ola, Hans' Sohn ist ähnlich gut und redet hier eine sehr interessante Stunde über "Factfulness" (auch das Buch) und die Common Misconceptions und warum wir alle ziemlich falsche Vorstellungen über "die Welt" haben, die den Fakten nicht (mehr) entsprechen.

Das Buch ist bereits vor zwei Jahren erschienen, aber heute so aktuell wie damals. Meine Urlaubslektüre in diesem Jahr und ein absoluter Lesetipp. #Lesen #Lesebefehl #HansRosling #Factfulness https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/hans-rosling-u-a-factfulness-mit-fakten-gegen-unwahrheit.950.de.mhtml
