Causes of Ignorance.
Personal Bias
Outdated Facts
News Bias

Mix these with human intuition and we have a recipe for ignorance. I love the video by Hans and Ola they are doing a good work. I would rather we train ourselves. The amazing thing is that we have the internet. We no longer have an excuse to be ignorant.
 
I only got the world poverty question correct. But as each question was asked I immediately wondered how easy it would be to answer through use of a search engine. I wonder how many even had that thought?
 
I got all of them correct.
Maybe I just know too many people at the World Bank ;)

me too. didn't think they were hard questions, especially the one about surviving disasters. given revised building codes and early warnings - but most of all the FOREKNOWLEDGE - the ability for many to either move away from an area or remain in a structure safe enough to deal with disasters has meant survival numbers are amazing.

not sure if it was puerto rico, but i think it was, when another huge storm hit it in the 1900s the death toll was over 9000!

when the huge storm surge hit britain in the 1950s, it came at night and people weren't prepared for the tidal surge that took over 300 lives.
