A strange graph that’s missing China, Brazil, Russia, Canada, India, Australia, Korea, etc.

When data doesn’t support your graph you just leave it off. Same approach our politicians use.

China and India are too poor to be included in the graph. In Brazil, most people believe in theistic evolution, which might be too hard to include on the graph. As for the other countries, I don’t know.

Latvia? Estonia? Lituania? Population of Latvia 2 mm makes it a dwarf country even for Europe. How about China??? Russia? India? Indonesia? How about rich and poor muslim countries>? Put these in and watch how your newly found correlation willfall apart. Anyway, the key question here is SO WHAT? Many factors affect GDP per capita and the fact that it stands alone when you plot it vs Europe basically means noting
