Reply to [OC] Research Funding vs Human Development: a country's R&D spending correlates with its societal well-being by latinometrics

What you've found here is a confounding variable. If you'd plot individual HDI versus the number of Rolex watches owned, I'd wager you'd find two distinct clusters. Does that mean that the gouvernamnent should focus on buying people gold watches, rather than healthcare?

No. This is because people who have their basic needs met start to focus on other shit.

Please stop posting irrelevant graphs like this.
