Summary of Factfulness - Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World - We consistently get the answers wrong when given simple questions regarding global trends, such as what percentage of the world's population lives in poverty, why the world's population is expanding, and how many girls complete high school. Teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers will all be outguessed by a chimp picking responses at random.It exposes the ten tendencies that distort our perspective, ranging from our proclivity to divide the world into two camps (typically some form of us and them), to how we consume media (where fear reigns supreme), to how we view progress believing that most things are getting worse.We don't know what we don't know, and even our best estimations are influenced by unconscious and predictable biases.Disclaimer: This is a summary of the book, not the original book, and contains opinions about the book.
