Data Rising

From the Studio · YouTube

The world’s better than the headlines say — check the data. Reggae on seeing clearly. “Data Rising” by Roots in Wisdom is conscious reggae from the Upward album, inspired by Factfulness by Hans Rosling (2018). It’s a hopeful, level-headed groove: fear sells, but the facts show slow, steady progress — read the world as it really is. THE BOOK & THE MESSAGE Factfulness by Hans Rosling (2018) is the bestselling, data-driven case that the world is better than we think: our instincts for fear and drama distort reality, and looking at the actual numbers reveals real, ongoing progress. The song lifts the data up over the panic — things can be bad and getting better at the same time. LIVE IT DAILY — how to use this takeaway every day - Before reacting to a scary headline, ask “what does the data actually say?” - Ask “compared to what?” — put the number in context. - Notice progress that moves slowly and quietly, not just the crisis. - Hold two truths at once: bad and better can both be real.
