Plots(1)

Do you think there are too many people on the planet? Just imagine what the situation will be like in 15 years... Do you also believe that the already terrible conditions of a large part of humankind will inexorably deteriorate into an absolutely unbearable situation, leading to collapse? Is it even possible to change the situation in such a strongly stratified society? Is the fact that Europe and North America live in affluence fair to the rest of the world? Are we able to outlive ourselves and the so-called Anthropocene? Do you feel depressed when reading these questions? You should! Come improve your mood and listen to a more optimistic version of the future, based on statistics and hard data. In the brilliant documentary by the AFO50 winner Archie Baron, Professor Hans Rosling, one of the greatest showmen the BBC has ever seen, will show you that we can make the world better and mathematics will prove him right. 10 out of 10 Peter Singers and Steven Pinkers approve!
