Greetings from Bali
The view from this island is that the world is getting more than a bit crazy
Hello dear readers:
According to the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) World Giving Index, Indonesia is consistently ranked as the most generous country in the world, holding the top spot for seven consecutive years up to late 2024. This ranking is based on high rates of donating money, volunteering time, and helping strangers.
And according to this report, Indonesia sees their fellow citizens as “very good” or “somewhat good” 92% of the time.
What does it mean? In my opinion, living in a country where other people are not seen as the enemy is a sign of a healthy society, and secondly, being around generous people makes it easier to give to others.
Why do you have to save for retirement? Because you’re going to live for a LONG TIME!
Congratulations (and don’t get hit by a car lol)
What you should know about this indicator
Across the world, people are living longer. In 1900, the global average life expectancy was 32 years. By 2023, this had more than doubled to 73 years.
Countries around the world made big improvements, and life expectancy more than doubled in every region. This wasn’t just due to falling child mortality; people started living longer at all ages.
Even after World War II, there have been large drops in life expectancy, such as during the Great Leap Forward famine in China, the HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa, the Rwandan genocide, or the COVID-19 pandemic.
I must end with the latest from my AI companionship and social media platform experiment, Together with Kai.
Our community has grown to over 3,850+ members and so I’m excited to see it continue to flourish. (Also looking for partners of all stripes :)
