Today while reading the NYT Kadizzle stumbled across a wonderful article about data. With a down day for hiking and exploring Kadizzle explored the neat data system. It is a very clever invention called Gapminder World. The system allows you to plot 120,000 data points about the human condition. In College we all learned how to support what we say with data. However, most people don't let reality interfere with what they believe, instead they just repeat the party line, or what seems to be popular at the coffee shop. Most of what people believe is simply not true. The data shows it, however most people don't want to be bothered with the truth. Know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Take some time and play with this thing it is fum. Google Gapminder World to run the data engine.
