world view

Do you know the basic facts about our world? There is a good chance you don't! At least these are the findings of Hans Rosling et al., the authors of the book "Factfulness". Most teachers, economic leaders, journalists, scientists and even nobel laureates scored worse than random in a set of questions about basic facts about the distribution of health, education and income on our planet, the developments of the last 100 years and possible future trends. Why is that? The authors offer many insights about misconceptions that are systematically distorting our world view and can lead to wrong thinking, false conclusions and inefficient actions. The MindMap describes these 10 misconceptions (instincts) as well as what the authors propose as possible solution out of this trap: Factfulness.
