        @neiltyson I love you, but correlation does not equal causation. Interesting numbers though.

        @pkmonaghan @neiltyson In this case it certainly does. Less-educated, low-information voters tend to vote for stupid candidates.

        .@axian @neiltyson But a strong correlation is certainly cause for further study to determine causation.

        @pkmonaghan this has been studied to death. Higher Education tends to make people more likely to vote liberal

        @neiltyson Funny how the most educated people have no clue how the economy works.

        @robertmclaws interesting that thats the conclusion you draw as opposed to "maybe I don't know how the economy works"

        @melbacoast As a job creator myself, I have a relatively good idea of how the economy works. The educated ppl voted for someone who doesn't

        @neiltyson it’s no surprise the GOP always cuts education funding and turns “educated” into an epithet.

        @neiltyson i still can't believe we're in era of reducing funding for important science programs instead of supplying funds.

        This is bad science (shows correlation/causation fallacy) and bad education (encourages, by example, bad, lazy thinking habits) @neiltyson

        It's not about "context" or "nuance." It is simply wrong to say that an association is evidence of a causal effect @albertocairo @neiltyson
