Factfulness — Why Intelligent People Misunderstand the World

This episode explores *Factfulness* by Hans Rosling, Ola Rosling, and Anna Rosling Rönnlund, examining how human psychology, media incentives, and information systems combine to distort our perception of reality.

Rather than asking whether the world is improving or declining, this investigation explores why intelligent people so often develop inaccurate mental models of the world around them—and how recognizing those hidden systems can lead to better decisions.
