Nah, I'm aware of what it is. I'm just curious about his thoughts on the Big Day and broadly inform everyone of what it entails.


it's funny. it reminds me a lot of those religious kook doomsday believers. once the day has passed, they just choose a new date as if nothing happened (er and didn't which should shake any reasonable persons belief)

They're right lol

People will say "well statistics say this" not understanding that the statistics don't say anything. Math is a tool. A hammer doesn't hit nails. You use a hammer to hit nails. Left to its own devices a hammer sits on the table and does nothing. Math is the same. Conclusions you draw are drawn by you, not by some objective math god out in the ether.


Obviously subjectivity will be in every opinion/conclusion lol...But that doesn't make the math used to get there not objective....

Oh I'm aware that he's going to swiftly sweep it under the rug, but I'll be here to pester him about yet another failed prediction/lie once again.

You’re arguing with a guy who read a headline about someone celebrating a a court victory via a Facebook post and took that to mean that Facebook has become the courts


Yeah, cognitive dissonance at its finest.

Then you have no problems, because what is being discussed in what was linked is exactly what I was talking about. They aren't saying 2+2=4 is subjective, they're saying conclusions drawn from math are subjective.

Have you ever seen somebody tell you "Math says blacks have a lower IQ". That's what's being targeted. People trying to use math as a way to lend a lens of objectivity to their conclusions.

I've concluded that you are a moron. I like how the "research scientist" is saying that conclusions drawn from math are subjective. Lmfao, you need to phone bill nye

They are lol

There is no statistical test that spits out "significant" and you don't have to think further than that. You always have to account for real world circumstances when interpreting your data.

Let's say I get in my car and push on the accelerator, and write down my speed every 5 seconds. For a full 20 samples my speed increases. Based on this data, if conclusions drawn from math are objective, you can only conclude that my car slowing down is an impossibility as long as I have my foot on the accelerator. After all, 100% of samples resulted in an increase from the previous.

This is of course ridiculous, because you aren't accounting for real-world factors that influenced the gathering of your statistics, and it's up to you to make a subjective judgement of what is important. Is the number of trees I drove by important? No, I don't think so. Is the amount of gas in my tank important? I'd say very.

Thinking that conclusions drawn from statistics are objective is something that people with very little statistical training tend to do, and basically nobody with any real understanding of statistics ever does.

I’d say your study was severely flawed from the getgo as you failed to start the car, the speedometer thus wasn’t functioning which begs the question; how did you get your data?

Lying again, chief. It's such a meme that the tabloid newspaper didn't even mention it on the front page.
