Schindler’s list makes the holocaust be perceived as the worst thing that ever happened to humanity, but I question if that is really the case because we have had and still have pretty horrendous happenings. It’s the concept of ‘grievable lives’ — in our culture, some lives are more grievable than others.

I took more than that, I have edited the message to the best of my abilities to be understood, since English is not my native language. But the estimation of value is not one of productivity and precision here, such as the Google X Reddit Q&A, but at the compound effect in the world my message can bring about.

See, the message is not addressed only to the author of the message to which I have replied. The message may have a bigger, personal impact on him/her/they, but every reader who stumble upon the message — such as yourself — may derive conclusions.

Some of these conclusions may be towards my goal, which is to raise awareness to the economy of the pursuit of knowledge on the internet. I hope to have brought awareness of the gain in being continuously more proactive towards seeking answers for the questions life throws upon us.

Your reaction, adamantly against what I have arrogantly proposed, brings another perspective, one directed to the nature of the social pursuit of knowledge.

I myself find it less fruitful, but others may not — what a sublime jolt of pleasure to acknowledge that someone has taken their time to answer my question. What else can become of that? Perhaps a friendship, perhaps a world of opportunities?

The bbc's chart shows carbon cost of farmed proteins.... so non-farmed proteins might be considered carbon neutral perhaps. That could be venison from deer herds culled to cut back numbers or other naturally (and sustainably) caught protein. Road-kill might be the lowest carbon :)

No not misleading at all.

My only gripe is them not labeling their data points with a mouse hover.

It would be interesting to see the names of the micro regions by hoovering the mouse over the dots, especially the ones near the bottom or top.

Also, they should have included the complete dataset table and where they got their data from. Unfortunately almost no articles do this, it seems they guard their data and sources like a hoard of gold.
