The Ignorance Test (Gapminder)

Its to make one feel guilty on how ones lives compared to the rest of the world so they can redistribute wealth . So yes its liberal tripe and globalist propaganda . IMO of course :)

I thought "Globalists" wanted to rape and pillage the World for their own nefarious means and ends...not share the wealth?

Which is it?
 
Most people learned that the world is not as bad off as they thought. Wouldn't that translate as less guilt and less need for income distribution?
Sure and how did we get to that point ? The UN ?

No they want to live at a higher standard and lower ours to balance the serfs . Oligarchy as it always has been except world wide .

So you are giving the UN credit for making the world a better place than most people think it is and for reducing the arguments socialist favor when they talk about income distribution?
 
Please prove that those statistics are not fabricated?
Actually it is up to you to prove they are fabricated. They have published the studies and made the claims. If you believe they are wrong the onus is on you to produce the proof showing they are wrong.

This is a tricky one - usually someone making a claim has the onus of proof - if you claim the statistics exist then you show that to be the case.

however for most of us quoting a reasonable source is as far as we go - we do not normally go to the actual data, check eth survey design, etc.

Yes but in this case the data are supported by proof. It's all referenced in the article. The studies are available for anyone that wants to put out the effort to read them. Just saying "prove these aren't fabricated" doesn't cut it as an argument. The people making the claim have presented their proof already - if he thinks they are fabricated he needs to bring evidence of fabrication or error.
 
I got 5/10. a totally honest answering, rather than trying to second guess the test and skew my answers based on previous ones.

I was saddened but not surprised that one member here seemed to get very upset by the whole thing and shoehorned in some conspiracy regarding the quiz.
Other people have pointed out the main point here, that if I want to wade into the pathetic fanboy GM vs Ford debate, then knowing the power output of a 351 Cleveland might be relevant. if on the other hand, one is to wade into debates and theories surrounding globalists and the UN and world economy, it might be useful to actually know something about that.
