It occurs to me that this last 1/2 century or so has been globally pretty peaceful. And I wondered if it might even be one of the MOST peaceful 50 years we’ve had.
I’m inclined to imagine that the Cold War might have kept a lid on larger military aspirations. What do you think, am I deluded?
It feels like it’d be good to see that chart with the world war I and world war II data removed so you can see the other data.
The way it is now it’s all so squashed it’s almost meaningless. And yes it be good to see it adjusted for percent of population.
That’s what log plot is for, it squashes all data so you have a decent idea of small things even when compared to huge things
