If it was actual birth and death data and you were watching real world events, it would be creepy but kinda cool. But it’s not, it’s just a statistical simulation. Looks neat but you basically watching a model run at 1:1 time scale.
I like getting the point without the creep factor. It’s also a super easy-to-see reminder for (us!) Americans that the world indeed does not revolve around us.
Creepy and scary!
Agree!

Andy – I still think it’s fascinating 🙂

It is interesting to watch how many more births than deaths, good grief what is this world coming to?
The World doesn’t revolve around us? My dog will be really disappointed when I let her know.
