I have asked this before but have mislaid the v helpful replies I got.

What's the name of the kind of chart that displays a rectangle representing a set of data; and subset data in rectangles inside the rectangle representing the whole dataset; in which the subset rectangles are scaled to the relative sizes of the subsets?

Eg a chart with a rectangle showing all deaths recorded in a nation, divided into rectangles showing the individual causes of death, instantly conveying what are the causes of the greatest number of deaths

(This account is largely unused at present but I have come back here to get the help I need in this particular topic.)

I am using the auto delete function on Mastodon to delete my toots at a time of my choosing. Anyone know of a way I can set a time expiry flag to unbookmark other people's toots that I have bookmarked? Only option to go through them all and un-mark each one?

It's a maxim that "you get what you measure." Why are governments fixated on Gross Domestic Product, which looks at nothing but money? Hopeless for people and hopeless for our survival.

The 2019 experiment in New Zealand to look for new measures for the Govt to aim at, instead of Gross Domestic Product, was heartening. I'm not sure it survived. But there's space in that ground to get involved and work for more sensible and sensitive measures.

I'm currently looking at https://weall.org/about-weall

From this book

“In a biography of John Maynard Keynes, interestingly subtitled ‘The Economist as Saviour’, Lord Skidelsky makes telling reference to ‘Keynes’s sense that, at some level too deep to be captured by mathematics, “love of money” as an end, not a means, is the root of the world’s economic problems’. There we have it: these are things that go ‘too deep to be captured’ by the accepted tools if the Western mind. That is why we need cross-cultural and transdisciplinary analysis, and perhaps we need to use afresh some of the ancients’ ways of knowing.”

What’s on your mind? asks Mastodon.

Well, I have been reading Alastair McIntosh ‘Soil and Soul’ and I have been looking at a conversation between Bill Rees and Rachel Wells https://www.planetcritical.com/p/reflections-on-an-argument

and yet the perspective I have come across recently that seems to be my current sticking point is that “people are more absorbed by the person sitting next to them than they are by the ground of being that allows them to exist at all” — a paraphrasing I make from this post https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2024/09/book-excerpt-from-glory-days-by-simon-rich/

I have seen a type of pie chart graphic that (instead of a circle divided into sectors) is rectangular and is filled up with smaller congruent rectangles representing the amounts of various parameters in their respective sizes

Is there a name for such a graphic representation of relative proportions? And has anyone got a routine or app that can generate one?
