Looking at Population from a Different Perspective

Date: Saturday, January 14, 2023 5:59 AM EDT

This is something else that i had never given in consideration to before writing Globanomics. The population breakdown of the different continents goes something like this as a percentage of the total population:

Asia (60% of the world's population)

Africa (15%)

Europe (10%)

North America (8%);

South America (6%); and

Oceania (1%).

Now you don't have to be much of a mathematician to see the rather funny "skewing" of the data. I doubt if you were starting from scratch you would end up with the same population mix that we "have to live with". And that can help in thinking down the road how best to move for all of humankind's benefit. Of course, you have to take "area", "resources", etc. into account. You also need to have some "certified number" to get to and achieve.
