And That’s A Fact

from A Friendly Orbit Hosted by A Friendly Orbit

Do you ever feel like the world is doomed? Life gets harder, people get meaner, and nothing works like it used to? Well it turns out that’s probably your cognitive bias - and has very little to do with reality. Join Theia and Ceres as we dive into Factfulness, a book on how a fact based look at the world is more hopeful than you’d think. Let us know how well you do on the Gapminder test! Here are some useful links: Ceres’ slides with graphs The gapminder test Global Improvement Graphs Dollar Street - See life on different income levels You can find us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/@afriendlyorbit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Until next week, we’ll catch you out there, amongst the stars!
