The world, not so flat
Here’s a map slash grid, plotting the Inglehart-Welzel Cultural Map of the World, based on two axis of interest. An often-heard refrain in immigration rhetoric is that everyone in the world wants to live in the U.S. Seems to me this might generally be true for the whole area to the west and south of our position on this map, a majority of the world to be sure. Not so much, for those plotted due north and east. And, I suspect, for reasons roughly matching the variables on the axis. [ via kottke ]
