How is it you manage to state the blindingly obvious in a way that seems confrontational, wuf?

People suck at understanding statistics. I've been saying for over 10 years that the single most important college course that should be a part of every single major is a probability and statistics course from a math department. We see statistics in almost every news broadcast, and basically no one understands what a confidence interval is, why it's vital to know it, and scandalous that it's not given. We are almost never told the breadth of the study which produced whatever statistic, how many participants, from what socioeconomic background, etc.

So that's a huge avenue we leave open for politicians and other community leaders to openly lie to us in ways that make us feel smart without actually learning anything.


Saying there's racism - or more broadly bigotry - is just blindingly obvious no matter where or when you look at human history.



All of which is just obvious.

But you attach some quote with BLM, and without making any direct connection, you're somehow linking the 2 things.


Your studies into how to persuade people have devolved into you learning how to manipulate (less intelligent) people (than you) with false connections and trite crap that sounds profound.
You used to be an intellectual. Now you're just adding your own from of propaganda.


I mean... who needs Kanye? Wuf for POTUS!
