Large Numbers In Visual Format

Here is an interesting clip by Chris Jordan. He shows statistics in his photos in an effort to help us connect to the huge numbers. 2.3 million US prison inmates is just too big of a number for us to grasp. But when you see 2.3 million prison uniforms it makes more sense to our visual mind.

Did you know over a thousand US citizens die of cigarette related disease EACH DAY??
Or that one quarter of all the prisoners in the world are in the US. The Home of the Free actually isn’t that fee after all. Especially if you are a black man - there are more black men in jail than in college….they are getting a free education but it ain’t exactly the right one.

More sayings

43% of all statistics are worthless.
A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a ton of explanation.
After all is said and done, more is said than done.
Don’t tell me how hard you work. Tell me how much you get done.
Learning from your mistakes is smart, learning from the mistakes of others is wise.
Your true value depends entirely on what you are compared with.
