to the public in many countries...
### ...to see what people think the world looks like
based on the news stories they see.
Then
----
### we check the data...
from the UN and other reliable sources...
### to identify the most common misconceptions
where peoples' ideas differ most from reality.
Finally
-------
### we can help YOU
identify what you’re wrong about, and...
### ... keep upgrading your worldview
as the world keeps changing,
### AND ENJOY
a fact-based worldview
