Math Still Fails

It’s a common occurrence to stumble upon people who lack basic knowledge and are unaware of current events. Case in point, this individual appears to be living in a time when there were only around 3 billion people on Earth. Such a statement makes it obvious that the person in question is not well-informed, and that’s not uncommon to see on the internet. Unfortunately, the internet is home to many individuals who speak without proper knowledge, and it’s crucial that we verify the information before accepting it as fact. As of 2020, the world’s population stood at around 7.8 billion, and while it’s possible that there might have been a marginal increase, it’s highly unlikely to be anything significant. In light of this information, it’s evident that the individual in question is not well-versed in the world’s population numbers. 

However, despite this blunder, the person managed to gather an impressive one billion views. While this is undoubtedly a commendable feat, it’s nowhere near the 2.6 billion views required to reach the one-third mark of the human population. It’s essential to have a basic understanding of facts and figures to avoid embarrassment when speaking in public or on social media platforms. However, in cases like these, the issue may not be with the person’s knowledge base but rather their willingness to verify facts before making statements. We must all strive to double-check our information before sharing it with others to avoid spreading misinformation.
