Statistics

[coachdb18]

With a number approaching 100% of the international public, it's a true fact that this number of people feel they have the answer to how other people should live their lives, and can create entire legal systems and moral causes to enforce and Utopianize their dreams for everyone else.

It's also a fact, (using multivariate analysis), that at least one principal factor in their reasoning, and in their appeal to regulate others' lives, is the reality that most people (>50%) have never had a course in statistics, are themselves in debt, and have at least one health issue they would not have if they simply minded their own business.

True, 37% of statistics are made up on the spot, but 47.593% of those are also confirmed by claims of expert peer review in a phone poll by MSNBC staffers, all of whom have PhD's in crowd sourcing.

It's a way by which people who have no background in statistics can use a computer to REALLY fuck up with statistics... it's just what we do!

I use my experiences in watching other people's experiences to statistically analyze the outcomes of other people's decisions before they make them. I then wait until they make the decisions and tell them how I could have stopped them from having bad experiences from poor decisions.

I call it "Post Decision Theory" and it's a subset of Decision Theory which is of course a Subset of Game Theory. I'm awaiting my Nobel Prize in Economics any day now.
