RT @pmontu33: Conflating probability and exposure is an example of linear thinking as only a perfectly linear payoff would allow you to do this.

Negative energies and probabilities should not be considered as nonsense. They are well-defined concepts mathematically, like a negative of money (referring to debt).

As my first fall econometric lectures are on probability theory and the relationship between probability theory and decision theory, this video is a great help.

If this is tripping you up, maybe you should rethink your career path.

Taleb: “physicists use negative probabilities in QM”

Physicists: “negative probabilities are real, but we don’t use them in standard QM interpretations”

Taleb simps: “But this random paper shows a there’s some theoretical application”

Physicists: “Ok, and?”

Simps: “FRAUD!” - flux

Another clueless economist.

I just finished the probability section of my UG Stats course. 💯 agree it would be a great idea to ask students to explain why the explanation in this video is bonkers. - Ashwini_Deshpande

RT @WashburneAlex: Say No to Kings of Science Funding.

The problem with the old boys' club of health science funding, and the "British Mafia" of epidemiology as we called it before COVID (Holmes, Daszak, Farrar et al), is not just the narrow cultural range for a field that proposes managing diverse human cultures' interactions with disease...

But the second this crew screws up royally, as appears to have happened with SARS-CoV-2 origins, the same social network that allows them to consolidate power and suppress dissent by crushing careers also enables them to burn down the entire house of health sciences instead of just being peacefully investigated, escorted off their thrones, and held accountable for their research ethics transgressions like the rest of us.

Why are these graduate students so bold in attacking Taleb out of nowhere?

Your advisor is surely watching, no?
