Why are normies unable to understand statistics?

Why are normies fundamentally unable to comprehend statistics? Something funny I’ve noticed is if a study or data goes against their brainwashing, the first thing they do is look for outliers to tell you about as if that somehow disproved the numbers. Then they call you names. Then finally, the more advanced ones moan about “Muh correlation ≠ causation”, as if correlation never equals causation. It’s truly hilarious how dumb they are

Another funny one is when they try to throw in factors that have already been accounted for in the design, they go through so much effort and lying just to prove the narrative they were fed, ngl goatis was right about brainwashing 90% of people just don’t have the capacity to truly think

I don't know, but this triggers me to the core

thats why I hate blackpillers and bluepillers, when you're redpilled and show stats for people they simply ignore it with an outlier or an incomplete story

for example saying that brad pit only slayed angelina jolie cause he was chad and chads always win, but alwasy forget to mention the divorce rape and losing the kids.

or saying that men are not going mgtow when 63% of guys are single and not looking for a relationship, if ths is not mgtow I don't know what is.

True even blackpillers do this too sometimes

Ig it’s human nature to try and make the data work for you instead of working with the data, people who already have their minds 100% set on anything are literally brainwashed and will manipulate logic just to keep up their illusions, they forget that you can almost always be wrong in some way about something

My point is they take “correlation doesn’t always equal causation” to mean “correlation never equals causation”

It’s called cope and all groups do it

Yes ofc but seeing the strongest form of evidence we have in this day and trying to find flaws in it that aren’t there is just hilarious

Don’t have a specific example, just in general. Like that looks vs perceived personality chart from okcupid for example or crime rates by demographics

 

[shngstaaaa107]

That one doesn't even need data, there are studies on how facial features represent or can make people infer traits and just obvious logi and real life examples. I feel like some people choose to be ignorant on THAT topic

I wanted to kill my friend when I showed him the height stats but I decided to js leave the arguement

Crime rate and demographics i feel like is a different story but thats just me

Yea because the truth of our nature makes us uncomfortable

People don’t want to believe how superficial and aesthetic oriented we subconsciously are by nature, and how deeply it’s ingrained in us

It’s just still crazy how many people will instantly bring up the 5’3 balding Indian janitor and comically low iq

I’m talking about the ones that account for wealth btw, like why aren’t Asians nearly as violent as African-Americans of the same income? In fact Asians are even less violent than whites of the same income iirc. It’s just interesting to me. Also take iq by demographic as another example.

Interesting, I really wanna see data on this one, u got link?

Not all statistics are true

50% of all science papers are made with an agenda in mind by their backers.

Point is whilst it’s reliable it’s not 100% accurate and to be taken as god

Here’s one even though it’s outdated the difference is striking

See he’s now bringing up invaded statistics.

The IQA STATS FOR THE WORLD ARE LITERALLY CONDUCTED BY SFcels

Richard Lynn who is a publisher of extreme far right news articles went out and did those iq things and they used faulty subjects samples etc and don’t give explanations as to how they conducted the IQA TESTS

for example for Guinea IQ they used cognitively impaired children to determined the nations IQ literal disabled kids. You cannot make this shit up

And these are the “stats” people like OP love to spout like fucking dumbass bitches

That’s why people QUESTION it and don’t belive it which is smart

Here’s another interesting one, when I reverse image searched and looked for the data it came from it was taken down
