This somewhat correlates with the whole idea that just ONE negative statement or ideas (we can say “One negative Yelp/Google/YP Review”) will heavily put way One HUNDRED POSITIVE statements or ideas. For whatever reason, humans are much more susceptible to believing & intently listening to the negative, even cynical ideas; and even come pleat falsehoods & fallacies no matter HOW fantastical it may be. We are more gullible than most want to believe. So, they CHOOSE to be ignorant, about it…hence this concept ITSELF. It’s a vicious cycle, this is. It’s based on “hope” - if not even “faith”, “desires”, etc - the world & potentially supernatural has more to offer than is really there. It could even be attributed to some level of EGO due to obsessing over the concept of “standing out from the crowd”, to be different, all just to try to show they are SMARTER & even more INTELLIGENT. They need some feelings of self-worth (more on that, in a second). Everyone wants individuality….even though they are listening to OTHER people, including GROUPS of people. I mean…these LITERALLY go against the definition of “Individual” ITSELF! Back on that “self worth” deal, which makes this whole thing come full circle - hence my somewhat sidetracking, after first mentioning what I’m about say say. Negativity. We listen to negativity because, for whatEVER reason, we feel the needs to PUT others DOWN…..to feel more self-worth. If someone ELSE fails, even if YOU have not succeeded (“you” being utilized in the general sense, not you individually & directly. My apologies, for seeming malicious or aggressive….[AHEM!!]…or ….NEGATIVE. Lol! Sorry…I had to do it. But, it is also true, being an example within itself, as WELL), then it stands to reason you’d feel “Better than them”. This COULD be attributed to “Survival of the Fittest”, passing on your Genes in your DNA, and Natural Selection. This is just a simple fact, and simple animalistic nature we have deep within us. It’s subconscious. The whole IDEA is the survival of the SPECIES more than anything else. To DO so, the best genes must be passed on….to “weed out” the worst genes, that cause us to be more vulnerable to death. So, naturally…most believe their OWN gene pool IS the best. It just had to be, for the betterment of the human species (I really don’t like “Human RACE”. No…we are a SPECIES, various races mixed within). This is to, obviously, “advertise” one’s own worth to our survival…or, as another perspective & way of generalizing this…to put DOWN the others. It is an attempt to convince even MORE people, to not be attracted to that individual. Think of it, on a basic scale, of a young woman seeking her best “Suitor”. A Man who can provide, for her…meaning she has a better chance of SURVIVING. And…that’s the entire idea. I’ve gone on enough here. So, I will try to just jump to my concluding statement(s) here. Lol! My apologies, for having such a lengthy & wordy reply…for such a “simple” context & premise. Okay….do, just wanted to end with this question, to ya: Just how MANY people have you seen or heard say “I’m so ‘WOKE’!” or “ I’m ‘Woke’, as FUCK!!” or anything to those effects, the last I don’t know…10 years or so(??)?? I’m willing to bet it’s quite a damn BIT. Lol! Yet, two people who BOTH calms to be “Woke as FUCK!” are on COMPLETELY different sides of any subject’s discussion & debate. How can that BE??? They LITERALLY believe the compete OPPOSITE of one another, in every single way. So, my follow-up question is simply: How can BOTH be “Woke”, if they don’t even believe the same thing? That’s impossible! Are Blue & Orange, Yellow & Purple, or Red & Green the same thing?! NOPE! They are, in FACT, complete OPPOSITES! (These are your 3 main complimentary colors. Yes, these 3 combinations stand out far-&-above any other color combinations. It’s a true FACT. I am a professional artist & study a lot of psychology). But…complimentary colors ARE that way Bc they are complete OPPOSITES, on the Color Wheel. Look one up, & even the concept of this, and you will find I am correct. Lol! Anyway…so…yeah. There ya go. lol! Again…my bad.

Reminds me of Enrico Fermi's technique of estimating when there is insufficient data. He once asked, "How many piano tuners does Chicago have?" Based on some reasonable guesses, the answer was close to the actual number. The idea is that your guesses are likely to be off, but some will be too high, others too low. To some extent they'll cancel out and your final estimate is likely to be at least reasonably close.

The _average_ of the experts is 6070/2 = *3035* pounds - *which is **_better_** than the crowd average of 3011⅔* This simplified example can be extended to a larger crowd and thusly showcases that the case of the Plymouth Fair does definitely *not* show that the crowd average is better than the average of a group of experts (Given, the Plymouth case doesn't show that the expert average is better than the crowd average either, but that claim isn't made anywhere.

There's a saying in China: "三个臭皮匠顶个诸葛亮." which basically means "Three Fools Are Wiser Than a Sage." and more often than not, I agree with that sentiment. Edit: I believe this ancient proverb was meant to show how it is almost always good to seek knowledge from many different people, rather than to study under one master.

Thanks good concept worth discussing 😊

Sir Francis Galton was indeed all those things (and he invented the barometric pressure maps of he sort we still use, and was an African explorer) but he was more than _a_ eugenicist, he was _THE_ eugenicist. He wrote his eugenics treatise, "Inherited Genius," 14 years before he coined the term "eugenics." Did I mention he was not only first cousin of Charles Darwin, they were the closest of friends? They shared grandfather Erasmus Darwin via Erasmus's daughter, Violet Darwin... the mother of Francis Galton. He was also a remarkably unstable man who had to be institutionalized several times. I recommend "Extreme Measures : The Dark Visions and Bright Ideas of Francis Galton" by Martin Brookes for those who want to know more. A truly remarkable person in any light.

Dr. Larry Dossey also subjected prayer to scientific study. I think he did a better job because he recognized that prayer and curse are opposite sides of the same coin. In one study, he found that drug and alcohol addicts who were in recovery had worse outcomes if they knew that family or friends were praying for them. He hypothesized that since most addicts hurt their family and friends, that when those family and friends pray for the addicts, the anger they feel negatively affects their prayers, which, in turn, negatively affects the addicts.

I used this method when I was in 4th grade. My teacher had a jar of jellybeans she asked the class to guess how many were in it I went around asking my classmates for their guess I calculated the mean turned in the answer and to my surprise I was the closest with my answer being 673 and the correct amount 709. I won but my stomach lost...ALL OF THEM

My boi Thought2 really changed the thumbnail and title 10 times

Not to correct you O Great One, but it is "pot latch" dinner. Pot luck is a bird hunters term. It means that your hunt was lucky, and you have something for the pot that night. Pot Latch is a term from covered pots brought to a dinner party or other social event (common in early USA community dances and such). These pot were heavy cast iron, and had a hinged cover that you "latched" for moving the pot safely. Don't make this mistake again! Great videos!

I read the inteligence of the CLOWNS, that seems more interesting.

Was there a picture of a cow in the original thumbnail?

Ah I have an idea to predict elections! Make an event in that country that surveys everyone! Oh wait...

Garry Kasparov played a chess game vs the world where every person could vote on the next move against Garry. The most voted move was played against the chess world champ. He won against the much lower rated opponents that were voting , but only after a few hundred of moves.

Aaron's is the correct pronunciation in Britain. If the owner of such a name wishes to pronounce it differently elsewhere, they are welcome to.

I believe this deals with sampling distribution of many means. While they used a sample that wasn’t completely random (we’re assuming it was anyway), the sample size allowed the variation to be quite low, and tacitness to be more… common. Also, when we have enough sample means, we start getting a more approximately normal distribution. Especially since we have a pivot point, the actual fact of the weight. Without any bias in the experiment (assumably), we can use that actual weight as the actual “false mean,” which means that the real weight is in the center. Following the Empirical rule, and by following the sigmas, it gravitates towards the correct one. That’s why sampling is always preferred when random. Sorry, this stuff is fun to talk about. My apologies in case I got any terms wrong. Statistics has a *ton* of terms. …So I’m going to stop myself before I talk about the distribution of the singular expert.

"Human swarming".....(that's the beginning of my *new knowledge of the day*....I had to save this; it's really intriguing. Thank you Thoughty2?
