A short question quiz about the world which has two odd characteristics:
  1. The more educated you are, the worse you perform
  2. Most people perform worse than random chance.


How well did you do? Be honest, this is an anonymous board.

what does this have to do with leftypol

>>2897061
the general economic and political state of the world + how accurately /leftypol/ understands it.
It'd be fun to cross compare with /pol/ tbh but OP didn't post it there

Missed 6, 7 and 11

In regards to 7, I'm interested in how we calculate this. Have criteria changed over time? What counts as a death to natural disaster? Willing to accept I was just wrong but I am curious and might look into this. Adding it to the list.

> The more educated you are, the worse you perform

this isnt even true, this shit propaganda has also been pushed quite literally last week in our course, its the worldbank data repackaged in a quizform. its being pushed by eu state and other bourgeois democracies recently. the same quiz you can find on our gov website lmao

10/13
fucked up endangered species, distribution of population (2bln africa + 3bln asia was wrong) and said the number of people dying from disaster stayed the same
what do I get

>>2897085
>>2897088
and also, the reason i call it propaganda is because it leaves out important context like bourgeois economists love to do, playing with statistics essentially

I would classify most of these as misleading. Many of them aren't necessarily outright false, but they depend on intentionally misleading definitions and specific wording. Definitely a quiz with an agenda, and if you search around a bit they just outright spell that out. The goal is to "prove" that westerners think the world is worse than it is. Unfortunately the quiz did nothing to dispel me of the impression that shit is fucked. You can show a lot of untrue things by playing with numbers and words.

>>2897092
Yeah this essentially didn't see this post before I posted this >>2897095

Why do you think people in middle income countries generally think the world isn't fucked and is in fact getting better?
