Literally the entire thing is based on generalizations. Such a tool can never yield a "universal truth," furthermore the kind of thinking it encourages can get you dangerously close to bigotry if you're not careful.

Its ok OP, many other anons here also failed stats. Pic rel, its (you).
>Literally the entire thing is based on generalizations.
It's based on certain mathematical operations.
>Such a tool can never yield a "universal truth,"
It definitely doesn't yield 'Yes' or 'No' answers.
Yes, it's bullshit. The less there are, the more I can demand. Go for a trade job or whatever.
Frick off you gremlin.
Whats wrong with bigotry?
>the kind of thinking it encourages can get you dangerously close to bigotry if you're not careful.
Most stereotypes are actually fairly accurate. See "STEREOTYPE ACCURACY: ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST REPLICABLE EFFECTS IN ALL OF SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY" in the Handbook of Prejudice, Stereotyping, and Discrimination: https://www.gwern.net/docs/psychology/2016-jussim.pdf
gwern noooo

stats is only good for gambling
Stats is a set of tools. If you know when to apply what tool, it will help you creating models which are predicting behaviours or future events with a certain accuracy.
The phoniness of stats is best illustrated by the Darwin scam.
Darwin is an atheist duplicitous b***h.
the only difference between darwin and lamarck is that darwin made up a theory about a population and lamarck made up a theory about an individual.
Now here is the thing. in order to work with ''a population'', you need to use statistics. and statistics dont lead to proofs and even less to truths.
Darwin's theory is not falsifiable and atheists are gaga about this, even though in public they say falsifiability is awesome.
In fact, the atheist concept of a ''a population'' is not even well defined. At best you they come up with a fuzzy definition.
So with darwin theory you get no predictive claims and when you try to get numbers out of it, you only get few stats about a population and if the theory fails, the atheists will say the numerical results are just statistical artifacts, no big deal.
Ugly dorks worship Darwin.
Not sure what this random stuff has to do with statiatics?
What does the braindead religious bullshit you just shat out have to do with stats?
>universal truth
I guess you will have a hard time in the real life.
I was more racist than ever when i was a kid and didn't know what statistics even was. I just observed the black people around me and made assumptions based on the patterns i saw. Now that i'm more educated and took a calc based statistics course i actually became less racist and less sexist as well.
It's about as bullshit as fitting a line to data.
I'm sorry but I prefer to do real science, like finding the neutrino
