Factfulness

  1. IDEA 1

    The gap instinct

    We split the world into rich and poor, but most people live in the middle. Look for the majority, not the extremes.

  2. IDEA 2

    The negativity instinct

    Things can be bad and getting better at the same time. Remember both.

  3. IDEA 3

    The straight-line instinct

    Trends rarely continue in straight lines. Population growth, for example, is slowing.
