    1. i mean unless zero people off themself you can always make this graph and half the countries will always be in the red

    2. I’d guess by the chart title that we’d be graphing happiness too, but guess not

      wild how the nordics rank super high in happiness but sit above median on suicide — classic reminder that reporting accuracy, cultural openness about mental health, and alcohol/sunlight all play bigger roles than ppl expect

    4. Could you do this with the countries sorted by distance from the equator?

      Interesting correlation between low reported suicide rates and highly religious countries where family members would have a strong cultural incentive to lie about whether a death was a suicide or an accident.

    6. From the graph you could conclude any of the :
      – Northern countries suicide more, probably due to lack of sun
      – Very religious countries suicide less, either because suicide is shameful and underreported by the families, either because people are afraid to go to hell if they suicide.

      The happiest countries have questionable uhh.. well.. anyways, 2 of them are monarchies so I’m sure *every citizen is totally content* and theres no error in reporting 

    8. Turns out if all the unhappy people kill themselves the average happiness goes up

      Not that many suicides in UAE. But lots of tall buildings, lots of labor abuses, and lots of „accidents“.

    10. Happiness is a culturally dependent concept. Pretty much every survey that measures it is bullshit.
