Making sense of the world in 14 Maps
These maps will help you put the present state of affairs in the world into perspective.
by Mihai Andrei, January 13, 2015 – Updated on April 29, 2023
Each color has 1 billion people
This is the world divided into seven sections – each with approximately 1 billion people. That’s right, both the Americas and Australia together have just as much population as that red strip in South-East Asia or the orange bit in and around India. But if you think this is a shock…This may surprise you
Population on Earth is not distributed evenly, to put it mildly. India and South-East Asia are very densely populated, so more people live inside that circle than outside it. That’s also where most of the world’s population growth is happening. Also, it’s not just population that is divided unequally…The world’s income levels
As you can see, we still live in a segregated world — economically. The rich areas are in Europe (except for the eastern part), the US (and likely Canada), Japan, Australia and some parts of Arabia. Africa is still predominantly extremely poor, while Eastern Europe, South America and some parts of Asia are still in a transition phase. Financial and social inequality is still a problem for mankind.Countries with which England has never fought (in white)
The biggest colonial empire in the world, Great Britain has left their mark on mankind and made a lot of enemies along the way. As it turns out… they fought with almost everybody. Sweden gets an honorable mention for being so close to England and yet not fighting the Brits.Editor’s Note: Read the rest of the story, at the below link.

You're asking for a ceasefire now? There was a ceasefire on Oct 6 - #Hamas broke it...
#Israel should hold themselves to the highest ethical standards for waging a war, because the rest of the world will hold them to impossible ones.

Changing the subject...forgive me. Google organizes email into first letter and later replies. They can be collapsed or expanded. If that were possible on Fediverse...imagine all the people, speaking to each other. Google also gives the option to choose every email/reply to be listed separately.

This. This all the time.
On #FakeNews and #DeepFakes (and #PersonalResponsibility!):
“It's not really the #journalists that are being taken in by things. It's readers. […] The only solution that I could imagine is some kind of new norm by readers. That is, by consumers of media. Right now, I don't get a sense that people feel much shame when they find out that they've been had. If you share a video […] and it turned out not to be real, then: ‘yeah, too bad’. […] I would certainly like more of a burden to be placed on readers. That is, if you're not going to feel ashamed about that kind of thing, then I would hope that the people you shared it to, encourage you to feel that shame. […] I don't see the #media as being the problem here.”
— #GraemeWood, on the #MakingSense podcast (in the subscriber version)
https://samharris.org/podcasts/216-september-3-2020/ -
Just listened to the last episode of the #MakingSense podcast. Quite a few interesting ideas there.
I disagree with a bunch. eg, I don't understand how #taxes (which are compulsory) could be called “solidarity” (which is voluntary by definition). And I'd remind #DanielMarkovits & #SamHarris that some #billionaires donate very little, or to irrelevant or self-aggrandizing causes — but that many others are in fact effective altruist.
On the positive, this conversation will make me question the merits of our meritocracy (pun intended), which doesn't seem to work as well as I assumed. And I think it'll help me find arguments to support my growing intuition that a cap on extreme individual #wealth may be morally justified and socially beneficial (I mean a 100% marginal tax rate for wealth above $10B or the like, ie affecting the truly super-rich only).
