@jdhf983y4uhu It's because the scale goes 1 then 10 then 100. If it went 10 then 20 then 30 the jump would be the same amount each time, a normal non-logarithmic scale. But jumping 1 to 10 the first time then 10 to 100 the second time, it can't be a normal scale, it jumps up by 9 then jumps up by 90. it's not adding on the same amount each time, it's timesing by 10 each time. That's called a logarithmic scale.
@jdhf983y4uhu imagine a country in which the GDP per capita is US$ 5k and a country in which it's U$ 10k. Now imagine a country in which the GDP per capita is US$ 40k and another in which it is US$ 45k. In both cases, the difference is 5k. But in the first case, the gap between them is wider, because the first country will have to double the size of its economy to reach the second one. When you think of percentage growth, logarithmic scale is more accurate.
@ lupi: the information is all around you. It has always been there. One can only see when one is ready to see. No one can show you. But you are right, better questions yield better answers.
Why isn't this shit better advertised? Serious - there is so much to expand the mind. If a good advertiser was called in they could set it out so that someone typed in the statistical probability of sex with a nipple slip celebrity and get this instead. In this day and age this is even more needed.
Imagine... all the country gone to healthy-whelthy zone... then what will happen... after every nation will reach there.. then every thing will OK..???... is it what you are thinking HANS ROSLING ... you are just thinking of future with respect to present data.. and........ you mind,..data always changes... if you have the ability... go and join venus project... if don't know... search in google.... god bless your imaginary thinking......
@joneseytron From what I've heard people see swedish as a language that you sing (I'm swedish myself so I don't see what they mean) so if you try to make your speech into some sort of melody it might help.
@DrP1po: I believe he is using the Human Development Index (just google it). It's an amazing website where you can do all the cool stuff he did here yourself, you can chose what's on the x and y axis etc. I used it for papers before!

If you try a few times, you should be able to pick up the accent - just repeat, wash, repeat. it should be ok - the fact you can't understand him is good sign, if you've never heard a thick Swedish accent before.
@TheAwness Because a study found that smart people arn`t having enough children and the prolitarian mob are breeding like rabbits so the idiots are literally out breeding the more intelligent people and thats why Lady Gaga has more hits than these incerdible talks and yes my friend....we who enjoy these Tedtalk vids are infact in a dwindling minority! Sorry to remind you that We`re fucked unless the nerds out there get breedin so drop the damn calculators nerds and get jiggy wit it!!
@TheAwness Because people are awake enough, mass media is easier for people to watch and understand. Breaking the mold is difficult when the 1% don't want us to critically think for our selves and truly understand the world around us.
The presentation is all about interpreting statistics. The death rate in China changed dramatically with the death of 30,000,000 people under Mao's influence. This speaker demonstrated that on another part of his presentation. It seems reasonable to question it. If we are " asked" to accept the speaker's points I think I would be neglectful if I didn't. Further,if the speaker is a fan of Mao
Wonderful, just wonderful. Our first attentive 20 minutes of 2011 and my wife and daughter and I were thrilled (and one of us beat the chimpanzees). I was inspired.
Nice, At 11:50 while showing INFANT mortality Hans says "Mao brings health to China!
OMG That and 30,000,000 deaths., which he displays, but ignores in the video that shows "average life expectancy"; in particular at 1958 or so. How the words "Mao brings health to China" can come out of his mouth makes it hard to take him seriously.
@meesterp Talk about nitpicking. So he made a little goof or whatever - he wasn't examining what happened in history, but just what the data was telling him.
True Free energy devices exist,But the Oil coporations life depends on covering this up,Go to LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM and get the blueprints for a genuine magnet motor ,Big change is comming soon!
@cloudburstlenepmhq Is this spam or don't you have had any physics? It's not possible to create energy from nothing. I guess (haven't take a look at the link) this is a kind of motor that transfers the energy of a magnet to kinetic energy. But how the the magnet gets its energy? If you are driving a car you always move about 1500 kilos. This weight is not going to move on itself.
@Mercury0660 Yes I do understand logarithmic plotting, which was my point - he did not display the graph AS a logarithm, but as a normal graph, which is THEN misleading.
In another talk, he shows the importance of improving education and decreasing child mortality rate to decrease the world population problem which I think is MUCH better. He also shows how the gap is farther apart than before, which is more obvious without a logarithmic graph, which was my point.
This is another example of misrepresentation of data to support an agenda. For example, on his GDP per capita graph, he has $500, $5000, and $50,000 equal distances from each other, when $5000 is 10X larger than $500, and $50,000 is 10X larger than $5000 and 100X larger than $50. The $50,000 mark should be 100X farther to the right, and therefore the "dots" he showed would be WAAAAAY to the right, showing that there IS a division between rich and poor.
Interesante, y habla inglés de p*ta madre. Por mucho que diga algún pardillo, es más, precisamente por el fuerte acento sueco los hispano-hablantes podemos comprenderlo.

Es alucinante como en los años ochenta los países de África y América Latina van hacia abajo y a la izquierda gracias a las políticas neoliberales. O cómo Cuba está a la cabeza de América.
I was listening to Hans yesterday in Seattle and had a good discussion with him and Steve Balmer - these are two extremely bright, still very humble, guys and I wish we had more of these kind of persons in the world. If you have a chance to speak or listening to Hans Rosling - pls do it and you will learn a lot.

If you have a chance to speak or listening to Hans Rosling - pls do it and you will learn a lot.
the graphs on income distribution he uses will obviously produce misleading results as the richest 'X percentile' are going to make considerably more than a hundred dollars a day such that the percentages resulting won't produce nearly anything that resembles the statistics you'd wind up with it you account for the weight of a person making tens of thousands of dollars a day. Is that not immediately obvious?
This guy seems reasonable enough, perhaps he's just dealt with statistics too long
@pilatech Don't worry, these old Swedes are masterful statisticians. Unfortunately TED doesn't allow much more than 20 minutes, so he doesn't get to break up the statistics in detail as he does in longer lectures.
The Chinese are getting fatter and lazier. With that many people, they'll begin to consume even more than America does. WWiii won't be fought for nuclear weapons. It'll be fought for food.
@swedeinmexico a lot of professors these days are dumbass. Even in Canada, they act like they know a lot of shits and when you ask them some question you get a fight back for "not" understanding what they lectured about.
Fantastic presentation, He does gloss over the massive inequality that still exists (the top decile controlling over 50% of the wealth) despite the smooth transition between the extremes that appears due to the logarithmic scale used by the UN.
This is a very excellent presentation which is not only humorous but extremely insightful into the nature of things that are moving in the current economical climate.
Hans Rosling is a genius, but its also a International Health Professor, maybe if he were a Psicologist he will focus on mental health instead of life expectancy, and if he were a Biologist he will study destruction of species... and finally the three together may end concluding that humans live longer, but crazier and with a destructive fashion, isnt it?
You didn't establish any causal link between the two observations made about Mauritius. In any case he only said that there is such variety in African countries, that you can't solve their problems with one solution.
I agree personally, but I don't think the majority of the people would like to have a another Black Death just to see a another Renaissance. After all, green Economies are immensely expensive and time-consuming to give momentum and earn returns.
International environmental summits would be dangerous if people would go home and immediately take adequate measures, that's for sure.
Instead the gathered countries suggest "half-way solutions" to implement. When the agenda is set, there is a market for sustainable technologies, which gradually get cheaper.
We already kicked the "freon habit" in the
80s and got rid of sulphur emissions over inland Europe.. so well, everything's possible, I hope.
I think this is an immensely valuable presentation, if for nothing else, a new technique to look into stats, and also his idea of expanding the freedom of information.
Of course different persons has different interpretations of data and they form their theory about what really happened. A difference of opinion here is most definitely disired. So to the dissenters here, stop hating his "manipulation", instead start forming your own theories
OK. This guy just shows to people in a fashion way what is already known by economists and other academics. This is like statistics for fools. However, all this data is available, many many academics (me also) use it but this guy is forgetting one issue. Data itself is useless without a theory, hypothesis or a statistical estimation method. He shows many correlations but no proof of anything. You need theory, to include other variables and a robust test (econometrics). DONT BE FOOL.
Don't be silly... Data representation, visualization, and access are hugely important problems nowadays. Without a good way to get to the data, a whole lot of it is never used the way it could be, and many important insights are simply never arrived at. A related problem is the amount of research coming out. I have read estimates that about 10000 articles come out every year on neural networks alone. With no way to summarize all that data, a lot of work is done twice when it didn't need to be.
I think he does have theories for his data, one that is shown consistently through this speech is that improvement to economic advancement and living standard should be highly, highly contextualized and broken down. Such as who exactly do we aid in Africa, right? He did not directly point to this social problem, but no doubt he helped in inspiring such debates
too many unfounded theories, however - make us bigger fools than observing of actual changes - which sometimes defy theorems - such is the case in marketing for example. don't be a fool.
Data is also good for relativising real poverty traps since in the world of Mathematics, a ratio is cool but a bare number childish. There is another video on here where someone uses data to support the holocaust since relatively speaking to the global population there was a few % less "premature death" that in other decades, I think it was Steven Pinker, who is yet another raving ratio man.
Amazing speech. Thank you very much.

I was listening to Hans yesterday in Seattle and had a good discussion with him and Steve Balmer - these are two extremely bright, still very humble, guys and I wish we had more of these kind of persons in the world. If you have a chance to speak or listening to Hans Rosling - pls do it and you will learn a lot.

the graphs on income distribution he uses will obviously produce misleading results as the richest 'X percentile' are going to make considerably more than a hundred dollars a day such that the percentages resulting won't produce nearly anything that resembles the statistics you'd wind up with it you account for the weight of a person making tens of thousands of dollars a day. Is that not immediately obvious?
This guy seems reasonable enough, perhaps he's just dealt with statistics too long

@pilatech Don't worry, these old Swedes are masterful statisticians. Unfortunately TED doesn't allow much more than 20 minutes, so he doesn't get to break up the statistics in detail as he does in longer lectures.

The Chinese are getting fatter and lazier. With that many people, they'll begin to consume even more than America does. WWiii won't be fought for nuclear weapons. It'll be fought for food.

@swedeinmexico a lot of professors these days are dumbass. Even in Canada, they act like they know a lot of shits and when you ask them some question you get a fight back for "not" understanding what they lectured about.

Fantastic presentation, He does gloss over the massive inequality that still exists (the top decile controlling over 50% of the wealth) despite the smooth transition between the extremes that appears due to the logarithmic scale used by the UN.

This is a very excellent presentation which is not only humorous but extremely insightful into the nature of things that are moving in the current economical climate.
Prof Hans, you are truly a genius.

Hans Rosling is a genius, but its also a International Health Professor, maybe if he were a Psicologist he will focus on mental health instead of life expectancy, and if he were a Biologist he will study destruction of species... and finally the three together may end concluding that humans live longer, but crazier and with a destructive fashion, isnt it?

Mauritius is populated by INDIANS, Rosling! That's why it's different from other African nations.
panchamkauns 2 years ago
You didn't establish any causal link between the two observations made about Mauritius. In any case he only said that there is such variety in African countries, that you can't solve their problems with one solution.

People who still fear exponential human growth should really watch this.
World population growth will stabilise in this century. The scary Malthusian argument no longer holds any water.
Yet we still need to tackle resource managment, poverty/welfare issues, energy supply etc.
But if we could just implement green economy and sustainable development policies on a global scale, we're pretty much set for the future.
herrfrunck 2 years ago
I agree personally, but I don't think the majority of the people would like to have a another Black Death just to see a another Renaissance. After all, green Economies are immensely expensive and time-consuming to give momentum and earn returns.
sizzlinfr 2 years ago
Quite right, if you go too fast.
International environmental summits would be dangerous if people would go home and immediately take adequate measures, that's for sure.
Instead the gathered countries suggest "half-way solutions" to implement. When the agenda is set, there is a market for sustainable technologies, which gradually get cheaper.
We already kicked the "freon habit" in the
80s and got rid of sulphur emissions over inland Europe.. so well, everything's possible, I hope.

I think this is an immensely valuable presentation, if for nothing else, a new technique to look into stats, and also his idea of expanding the freedom of information.
Of course different persons has different interpretations of data and they form their theory about what really happened. A difference of opinion here is most definitely disired. So to the dissenters here, stop hating his "manipulation", instead start forming your own theories

OK. This guy just shows to people in a fashion way what is already known by economists and other academics. This is like statistics for fools. However, all this data is available, many many academics (me also) use it but this guy is forgetting one issue. Data itself is useless without a theory, hypothesis or a statistical estimation method. He shows many correlations but no proof of anything. You need theory, to include other variables and a robust test (econometrics). DONT BE FOOL.
RaspatanOriginalPapa 2 years ago
Don't be silly... Data representation, visualization, and access are hugely important problems nowadays. Without a good way to get to the data, a whole lot of it is never used the way it could be, and many important insights are simply never arrived at. A related problem is the amount of research coming out. I have read estimates that about 10000 articles come out every year on neural networks alone. With no way to summarize all that data, a lot of work is done twice when it didn't need to be.

I think he does have theories for his data, one that is shown consistently through this speech is that improvement to economic advancement and living standard should be highly, highly contextualized and broken down. Such as who exactly do we aid in Africa, right? He did not directly point to this social problem, but no doubt he helped in inspiring such debates

too many unfounded theories, however - make us bigger fools than observing of actual changes - which sometimes defy theorems - such is the case in marketing for example. don't be a fool.

Data is also good for relativising real poverty traps since in the world of Mathematics, a ratio is cool but a bare number childish. There is another video on here where someone uses data to support the holocaust since relatively speaking to the global population there was a few % less "premature death" that in other decades, I think it was Steven Pinker, who is yet another raving ratio man.
