The Factfulness Quiz and pros and cons of Negativity Bias

In this podcast episode, we discuss the book "Factfulness" by Hans Rosling and its key themes, including challenging misconceptions and adopting a fact-based understanding of global trends. The episode delves into the "negativity bias," a psychological phenomenon that leads us to perceive the world as more negative than it is. We explore its implications on decision-making, policy-making, and public opinion and discuss how "Factfulness" counters this bias with data-driven evidence. Teia takes the quiz, and as we all know Teia by now, her results are unsurprising!
