Hi Andre! So cool! Are you making a real printed stack? ;)
Do you mean An antimalarial bednet lasts for 2 years?
A few comments which are from the top of my head, so take them as reactions.
Cancer killed 10M people globally in 2020
That’s great, it seems 1⁄4 of the number in 2015 (44,350, pp. 2-3)
China is planning 150 new nuclear reactors by 2035
Is this good or bad? - This can allude to the risk of China’s nuclear power but also environmental leadership, so does not seem as a similar ‘no brainer’ as other cards.
Farm workers in Sub-Saharan Africa are 50% less productive than the global average (in terms of the ratio between agricultural value added in $ and number of farm workers)
Anecdotally, based on a conversation with people from USDA, what takes 500 workers in a developing country several weeks is done by two people with a machine in the US. So, the global average can still be low compared to productivity of industrial agriculture.
Why are mental health disorders underestimated at 5% of the global burden of disease? Suicide and self-harm aren’t included in mental health disorders
Also because I think the DALY metric does not assess subjective wellbeing and undiagnosed prevalence.
Is China part of the International Space Station? No
This seems like an exclusion question. Being part of the ISS is not indicative of other aspects. It can allude to the relative proliferation capacity, such as the ability to manufacture rockets.
SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy can launch a kg of payload into space for $1,500
This can present coolness as launching ‘payload’ which means either stuff transported for profit or an explosive warhead. I would discourage this among the other cards, which e. g. compare the (relatively low) death burden of WW2 and (relatively high) smallpox. As an exaggeration, one could become apathetic to the harm of war and be enthusiastic about launching more (harmful) load.
I don’t fully understand the problem with the ‘payload’ point, but since I’m in doubt, and I understand that it could be a risk, I will remove it for the moment.

Hi Bara, thank you very much for your feedback!
Thanks for the catch on the malaria bed net :)
I think cancer deaths have been going up, not down (https://ourworldindata.org/cancer#is-the-world-making-progress-against-cancer), so maybe you meant 4M not 40M in 2015.

yes! that’s right I was off by a factor of 10 ..
ok, as you wish.
