This Video Shows How You’re Not Really In The Majority In The World

You’re probably reading this on a phone or computer in an English-speaking country. If that’s the case, you’re not in the majority of people on Earth. This video highlights this unusual perspective.

The video from ASAP Science points out a fundamental flaw in the way we think. We tend to assume most people share the experiences we do. However, even on the most basic things — like living with the internet or speaking English — most people on the planet don’t share that experience. In some ways, this information won’t really help you with your day to day life, but it can help inform how you relate to the world. It’s easier to understand what’s going on in the world when you realise you’re not the center of it.
