In the strange world of the year 2018 comprehensive understanding of mathematics is no longer a virtue.
Basically, all I hear is a word salad made of stupidity.
For example:
Immigrants are 3-5 more likely to commit serious crimes (serious injury, rape or murder) than German citizens according to the official statistics for 2017 (more about it in a separate post)
NPC: But not all of them are terrorists
Men and women are nor equal, because... Biology... Very obvious biology. Biology I knew before I was 6 years old...
NPC: You hate women and some women are even stronger than men
Men and women are paid equally in every civilized country for the last 50 years
NPC: there is a gender gap and men are paid more for the same joooob!!!
No you NPC morons, women don't choose to work in certain professions
NPC: but men and women should be paid equally, because they are equal
No, my lovely NPC, let the women be who and what they want to be.
Because people are not equal, and making them equal in terms of money they make is simply abysmaly stupid
If you don't trust me, just look at history.
There was a "reboot" after WWII + Communism = inequality in Yugoslavia immediately after
the collapse of Yugoslavia, new "reboot" = new opportunity to earn and lose
Refugees (real refugees), without anything, with a plastic bag = some gain their ground in a year, others can't find themselves two decades later.
Transition to capitalism, "reboot" = new shuffleing
Imagine that, in my country there were at least 3-4 reboots in the last 30 years, and yet, we are all equal for about a month - how's that?
Let me show you the absurdity of "gender inequality"
Let's check something completely different, like - height
In the paper: Up in the skies? The relationship between body height and earnings in Germany, by GUIDO HEINECK, the professor compared 24.000 employees from the Eastern and Western Germany with their body height.
And he found some interesting correlation...
I gave you the link to Scholar.Google profile of G.Heineck as he has at least 5 interesting papers with spurious correlations that are eye openers.
On average, Male Western Germans are 179.7 cm tall, while the Eastern Germans are 1 cm shorter. Female Western women are 166.9 cm tall, also 1 cm taller than Eastern Ger-women.
Workers were split into 3 groups:
- above average height
- average height
- below average height
And the differences were incredible!?
- For the Western Germans: 3287 vs 2983 vs 2524 Euros
- For the Eastern Germans: 2443 vs 1888 vs 1843 Euros
- For the Western Ger-women: 1835 vs 1671 vs 1451 Euros
What happens if we "increase the resolution" to 5 categories?
Not much...
What we see is the "s-curve", with the slope of about 1-1.5% for every cm for the height nearby the average height.
Is this true, tested...
Sure it is, there are studies in Canada, UK, USA, Brasil, India, Africa... Wherever you run the statistics, the results are the same.
Even other "spurious correlations" are clearly visible, such as the handgrip strength.
What should we do to fight inequality?
I have no idea... Maybe we should impose progressive taxation for every cm, impose mandatory kneeling for all the people taller than 180 cm or, I don't know, have equal number of tall, medium and short people in companies and parliament.
Or... We can let all the people pursuing their happiness and their style of living by giving them equal opportunity to develop, and not by promising them equal outcome (equal from our distorted perspective about the meaning of the word "equal")
Now, let's have some comments :)
