Not sure how I didn't pick up on that.
The sheer scale of it makes it hard to perceive, so probably you aren't the only one and probably a lot of the literature has similar blind spots which implicitly signals "this isn't happening" and we pick up on that and it gets implicitly repeated until it's hard to give any kind of push back in our own minds.

A wonderful, easy to read book on this that I recommend is Factfulness. https://www.ted.com/playlists/474/the_best_hans_rosling_talks_yo https://www.ted.com/playlists/474/the_best_hans_rosling_talk... https://www.amazon.com/Factfulness-Reasons-World-Things-Better/dp/1250107814 https://www.amazon.com/Factfulness-Reasons-World-Things-Bett...
