      Really happy you like the video and when it comes to education systems, even those in developed nations, it's important to understand that it's very difficult for them to keep up with technology. This is primarily because status quo edu systems grow linearly, whereas technology oftentimes grows exponentially. To put it differently, it's difficult for something designed to grow linearly to keep up with something that grows exponentially :)

    I just found your channel and am currently binging all your videos. I absolutely LOVE your content and can't thank you enough for taking the time to make them. You put broad concepts into simple terms.
    Do you have a venmo account by chance? I don't have PayPal because I don't agree with their principles, but I'd love to donate!

    The correlation is people fighting over ice cream to the death when it's hot out.

  • @malteeaser101
    @malteeaser101 4 года назад +1

    When you say 'weather', how do you quantify that? I get that there would be temperature, but people seem to talk as though things that aren't variable quantities correlate, like facts and events.

  • @Platewarp
    @Platewarp 3 года назад

    Thousands of people have died suddenly and unexpectedly hours to days after warp speed injections from the same fatal conditions such as blood clots, heart attacks, and blood platelet failure. Doctors have confirmed many of these deaths to warp speed. Also, many warp speed recipients have died suddenly and unexpectedly but their deaths have not been ruled on by medical examiner. Can one infer that warp speed killed them? Or would it be better to say “Correlation does not imply causation.”?

    I often find this is misused to make the argument that correlation implies no causation. People simply state correlation does not imply causation and think it wins the argument.

    reminds me of "poverty is the underlying cause of crime".. easy to debunk but yet people (especially academics) love to push that narrative.

    not the best example as its not really clear that weather should / could affect homicides .
    a more clear example could be age and arm length which of course correlate due to growth

    The phrase should be *"Correlation does not ALWAYS imply causation."* There are many times that it does.

    • @m.m.1898
      @m.m.1898 2 года назад

      How many is 'many times'? Inexact statements like that can also lead to false conclusions. Such as is 30 many times? 30 out of 10,000 is not many at all when in the context of 10,000 samples. 30 out of 40 is. Context means a lot.

    • @todorstojanov3100
      @todorstojanov3100 Год назад +1

      That's not how logic works. "A implies B" means that if A is true, B is ALWAYS true. "A does not imply B" means that it is *possible* that A is true and B is false, not that A being true means that B must be false. In other words: Correlation simply cannot be an argument for causation
