Bias 8 in #2 is an example of biases 1 and 7. The idea that most people used to think the world was flat is wrong.

I love this! It's also an example of bias number 8! People are hesitant to accept that the belief in "flat-earther dark ages" is wrong.

Well, it was kind of a revelation in ancient greece, and it was slow to acceptance. It's just that acceptance happened long before Columbus.

Comfortably for eleven minutes.

That is only if you are average.

nikikinz
That's the idea and why now retirement doesn't work.
Elroydb
That number wasn't picked at random
JohnnyTitelips
It's the global average, so it's counting places where the life expectancy is like 30.
MerToo
ah yes but the longer you live, the higher your expectation goes because you have already not-died as a kid or a teenager
sandybuttcheeks
Infant, child, and workplace deaths and those who die due to stupidity bring this number down a bit.
rshini
This is why I get so mad when people believe pre-industrial people all drop dead at age 40, that's not how averages work ya donkey.
DafyddWillz
Yeah, if you lived to 25 then you probably lived to at least 65, but getting to 25 was the hard part.
rshini
Infant mortality is the biggest reason why it's so low.
Justarandomnamepassingthrough
dohcohv
It's average, including all the idiots accidentally killing themselves in their 20s.
TheGrumpest
Also factor in whether or not you have or are at risk for lethal diseases.
catapulter
those make a smaller than you'd think. third world countries with high infant mortality on the other hand...

"All those idiots" is less than workplace deaths and deaths 30-60, I'd wager. By a lot.

The light bulb one doesn't seem accurate at all, it's hard for me to believe that coal is THAT unefficient
Vanbytheriver
The answer is to make a more efficient lightbulb...
caseycakies
My boyfriend works at a power plant as a fuel burning engineer. He told me the plant burns 2.3 million pounds an hour. So it's believable
jenniferlawrenceisabear
1 kWh: Coal = 1.04 pounds. Not too shabby... however that 100w lightbulb burns 870kW a year. So the infograph isn't too far off.
highevolutionary
Finally, Someone who speaks English.
HuckleofLogantown
Coal generated electricity is about 30% efficient at the point of use.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
It is https://www.euronuclear.org/info/encyclopedia/f/fuelcomparison.htm but hey, let's keep using it and pollute some more!
DVSBSTrD
Well it works for Fox News.
aguacatedeldiablo
Doubt is a great starting point, the next step is verifying for yourself
Cameron64
The lightbulb kWh is off. Graphic says a light bulb uses 876 kWh in a year, but the average home uses 901 kWh in a month.
scotwith1t
You are wrong, it's just unit conversion. They did it right.
ruok4a69
So it's accurate that a single lightbulb uses about 1/12 of an entire home's energy consumption? -_-
Cameron64
Can you explain?
scotwith1t
There's .1 kW in 100 W, and 8760 hours in a year, so if you run a 100 W light bulb for a year, that's 876 kW hours
Cameron64
That math makes sense to me, but it doesn't make sense to me that one lightbulb can account for 1/12 of a house's annual electricity usage
Carefuler
I'd like to know if the "days" in the solar example mean 24hrs of sunlight.
MatadoR32
Read that question back to yourself, then try again.
notacobra
It's average power generated throughout the year, divided by the number of days in a year. So season would effect it, not day/night.

a kilowatt hydroelectyric one.... that's a TINY dam. Just to make the hours similar.
DownvotesAreFun
What confuses me more there is how it switches between Metric-units (Metres, Watt) and Imperial-units (Pounds, Feet). I think the person 1/2
DownvotesAreFun
who created it fucked up the conversions.
Merced
It's an info graph with no stated sources, where did the data for 1 ton of coal creating 2,460 Kwh come from? Take those at face value
alsoAzrael
The amount of energy per ton of coal is complex, but it's probably less than stated, since it's about 6 Mwh/ton with 31% eff on average.
Max209
since when do we measure natural gas in pounds.... isn't natural gas lighter than air? I thought it is measured in cubic feet/cm3/L ?!
zynger
Kilograms (and pounds) are a unit of mass. Let's pretend that you can inhale so much helium that you float. Do you lose all of your mass?
Max209
You are right, forgot about mass, was talking strictly about weight... Woops! I expect my gas company to give me my gas by mass lol
CyborgScribe
I think he was confused because it also gets used as a unit of weight. People say "You weight X kilograms/pounds" in common speech.
zynger
...yes? And why do you think I gave him an exercise in thought?

My brain is not functioning this morning, but mathematically it's possible for people alive now to one day catch all people that have lived?
Wikipedo
Think of the lines to get in to Heaven and Hell with that many dying. 50m/year = 95/minute
rAiSeHeLLnEaTcOrNBREAD
They can catch them but they need a really big net

Well the growth of the world population is actually estimated to stop at around 10 billion

Approach, but never reach. Like an asymptote.

No. Think about it a little longer

For the ones who believe in reincarnation it does a loop.
randolphina
This problem can be solved using differential calculus, specifically related rates. No pen/paper, but I would say probably not.
alsoAzrael
No need for calc, most likely. But the question is trivial since "people living" is a subset of "all those that have lived," so no.
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa

I read this 4 times before I realized you meant population numbers and not physically capturing...I'm so tired...
jago118
In theory, but that's why we have wars - human culling.
rumandbass
Disease used to do that as well.
RogueLanguageModel
sure, depends on the birth rates...
sandybuttcheeks
The number alive can catch up to those that are dead, but not the number that have ever lived. It'll take a long, long time though.
SupercalifragilisticexpialidociousShenanigans
As each generation dies though the dead add up. It'd have to have a huge population boom- like 12 kids each starting at a young age for all
sandybuttcheeks
As of now (according to the statistic above) the population is growing by 83 million a year. It's exponential and while our life ...
sandybuttcheeks
Expectancy keeps growing too, this number will only grow.

No you turn the hourglass over and let the dead corpses crush everyone starting with the freshest

2) Someone do the math on this quick! Assuming the current rates of birth and death hold steady, in what year will it happen?

Assuming the same birth and death rates, it'd be about 1200 years though
MayorMcWeed
Maybe a little less than 1200, as the total number of people increases, the average number of births will increase as well.
olivertheyorkie
What? Absolutely not. 7b now, 108b ever. Each year, 57m drop out of the 7b and 140m are added to BOTH. So no, never.
olivertheyorkie
2/3? The key being "all people that EVER LIVED". People alive today are in that. If you mean can the current population exceed the number of
olivertheyorkie
3/3 people who existed in the past but are not alive today, given the current birth/death rates with no variables, eventually yes.
werdCAsquared
I think that's what I meant. I'd be curious what that crossover pt would be considering the increase in the gap between birth & death rates
MoistTissue
Unless we reach a point of immortality
olivertheyorkie
Each birth would still add 1 to "current pop" and "pop through the entire history of humanity", so still no.
FutureProfessor
Well, given enough time the two numbers could approach parity, but you'd have to bring back all the dead people for them to ever be equal.
TheExpensiveBikeRide
# of living people can never catch the total # who ever lived because they count in both categories.

OK so how long would it take for all the living people to equal all the dead people?

AreThoseMyPants
True, but I "was alive" yesterday, doesn't mean I'm now dead.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
well from that graph it looks like they don't count alive people to the "all people that ever lived"
zFUBARz
It's a very bad choice to use an hour glass for that infographic.
sulfuratus
Yes. The first issue I noticed was that it looks as if we're about to reach a point where the bottom half is full. Would that mean people 1/
sulfuratus
can't die anymore because they can't drop down to the dead? Is that how the zombie apocalypse will start? 2/2
Fleecemaster
That's just the way they have represented it, they are counted in both. They could have changed the bottom to "people who have died"
strcmdman
The real problem here is if population ever gets that high we will all be long dead. Maybe super beings in the future resurrect us all!
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
Usually they are, but not according to that grapgh.
