      for real until we genetically engineer the shit out of everyone there is no point to mandatory stats classes or indeed to universal secondary educationhttps://twitter.com/ChrisExpTheNews/status/1462166753262419970 …

      People > 2.5 sigmas to the right on math ability think we should make stats classes mandatory so everyone will understand things like normal distributions and selection bias and they say this without a hint of irony.

      I got like 60th percentile on the GMAT, but I felt like I grokked statistics, & that other bugman/MBA types would do a lot less harm if they were made to grok statistics

          a good intro stats + probability course should work epistemic humility into nearly every lesson (not just in a "by the way" unit at the end)

          and a good intro course in *anything* should help students apprehend something of the gap between where they are and mastery level give them one or two good experiences of Awe
