Having finished watching it, I was pleasantly surprised at the Hans Rosling documentary. I thought population was more of an issue that it seems to currently be. His statistics seem to show that world is starting to more or less self govern it’s growth.
It did present a new concept to me though. Mostly, that I’m dead wrong about my perceptions on the world as a whole. The best example is that my thoughts on poverty were off. As he pointed out, from a certain income level, it takes a little more thought to see the different levels of poverty. The same is said about energy consumption.
I’ve noticed a few more videos of his I’ll probably be watching soon. He’s got a really interesting worldview, and a does a great job of keeping it interesting, and entertaining.
