Numbers are boring, people are interesting | Hans Rosling | TEDxSingapore

Global trends and development through the lens of stats, sex, babies, men, women, romance and toilet rolls!

One of (If not THE) best, most captivating speaker to ever step on a TED stage, and this particular "performance" can stand as eulogy. Such a legacy's value to mankind can't be quantified. Hope Ola will take it to brand new heights.

Because of some comment to some article on linkedin about "developing countries", i just spent once again the entire evening re-viewing the Rosling video collection. What an amazing charismatic man he was.

RIP, Hans. what a fantastic speaker and all round academic inspiration

[tousdr]

We can never understand the world without numbers, nor we can understand it with just numbers.
You have to understand the lives between, behind the numbers.
Thanks Hans, for what you brought.

[niellangner]

How I miss this man. Thank you Hans for showing me the truth of the world.

[sachinpatwardhan]

We lost gem of a person..but his legacy will live long

[CBD]

It's Hans Rosling so of course I give a thumb up. I love how this brilliant man challenges my preconceived ideas about the state of the world.

[mahasinidris]

It's 2021 and his legacy still alive, may he RIP for ever

Thank goodness for my grandmother, she allowed my mother to go back to work when she needed to by making my lunch when I went to school!

Fantastic - so charismatic, bringing life to dull data sets! A great man.

[Kanzoi]

Proud to be Swedish when I hear his talks!

[Tubedog]

Read his book: Factfulness - published in 2018 - it answers many questions you may have.

"Empowerment for women works and makes men's lives better." minute 15:04

[mandarnandre]

watching in 2018, felt bad at 11:57 😥

[desiremasunda]

In a bad country these talks changed my life. The world lost the day he passed

[MATT-bwwh]

One of the best talks. True value, not just Asian value, should be kept in a morden way. When men are involved more in the family it's good for everyone.

[pilgrimage]

Small addition to "lives behind the numbers". Singapore is too expensive to have babies - that is one big reason why young people don't do it - also social security lacks. Very different than Sweden where social safety net is there and you get 18 months off. Tough thing to do is to change these Asian policies.

[pagusmusic]

He’s fascinating, he manages to deliver insightful data as well as talk about humans and love, can’t wait to read Factfulness.

But how are we going to colonize the galaxy like this?

[agapebiz-media]

things have gotten too expensive that if one not working, then they might end up in the Financial Assistance Scheme...I have talked about having more babies and couples are saying who is going to raise our children...everything is interwined...once greed comes in, only the rich can afford to have more children but these people are too busy to want to have more babies...
