I am not implying a negative correlation. The plot looks like a 'lower left triangle' not like a line with a negative slope. I am just saying that 'upper right triangle' is mostly empty.

You imply causation, which is the actual problem, by phrasing that 'higher gdp results in...'.

I am only saying 'higher GDP per capita with higher suicide rates' doesn't seem to happen. To which one person gave a valid argument, that there are only 9-10 countries with high income to begin with. But yeah, that's all I was trying to say in the title of the post
