The datasaurus is an interesting concept, but I think the biggest issue with most of our society is basic mathmatical fluency. This idea of "visualizing your data" or "sanity checking" can be expanded to a lot of situations outside of statistics.
In software engineering and electrical engineering this comes up all the time. Does it make sense for this log file to be 5 GB? Is it really 10 amps going into this shunt resistor? Being able to "sanity check" things mentally is an important skill.
