I love data visualization stuff and this video is a very cool way of looking at a LOT of data.
I noticed a couple of things about this presentation that skewed the data a little bit. Did you notice that the Y axis doesn’t start at zero? Did you notice that the X axis is logarithmic while the Y axis is linear? The overall effect is to make wealth appear to have a greater impact on lifespan than it does.
In spite of the skewing of the data, it’s still a very cool visualization!
