the idea that America would somehow be 'fixed' if one simply introduced statistics into high school curriculums is such a disgusting thought its hard to imagine the elitism of thinking democracy is struggling because voters know l'hopitals rule instead of what a base rate is

Increasingly think the "decoupling" construct is critical to reading these discourses. It's "thin" theoretically speaking, but explains so many bad takes...

I sometimes think this about media literacy
(not that it would “fix” anything per say, but that it’s something Americans are typically weak in relative to other first world countries and it should be taught from a young age like in the Nordics)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

calculus is actually pretty incredible and literally everything converges on derivatives - econ stat cs, you take any upper div course and its all the exact same concept lol

> Fundamentals Funny how people want to change what we are teaching rather than how we are teaching. Science/Math hasn’t changed, calculus is still important. Maybe find a better way of teaching it.

Stats education isn’t a silver bullet obviously, but this is a bit of a reductive take on something that would honestly help a lot. Being well informed is critical for democracy, and everything is numbers now. Even better understanding of basic stuff like margin of error is huge.

I mean just looking at the number of media outlets that lack any sense of how to report stats/scientific results, or the number of Americans who were pissed that fivethirtyeight was “wrong” in 2016 (“she had a >50% chance of winning!”), it’s a major gap in key knowledge
