If Europe and North America are so racist so xenophobic so patriarchal why is everyone around the world moving to these places? I was curious about the world population and found this site http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/#region Under the heading World Population by Region Africa Asia Latin American and the Caribbeans are draining and are pouring into white western countries, hhmmm... I wonder why? To be honest I already know why. -
So, apparently even the IPCCs own statisticians reject the model the other devisions use to claim that "significant" temperature increase. All in all a great read, as it also explains the core problems of statistical models in general (which is a problem in a lot of fields of science today). Very enlightening.

I know nobody cares about Canadian politics, but here is an interesting piece of statistics that resonated with me. According to CBC (Canadian government TV station), “The Conservatives appealed to ridings in which the proportion of married or common-law couples was highest. By comparison, the Liberals and the NDP largely dominated in ridings where the marriage rate hovered below 50 per cent.” In Canada, Conservative (blue) tends to be, well, conservative, Liberal (red) – liberal, and NDP (orange) – even further left-wing. So, to me, this appears to be a clear R vs. K battle (married people lean conservative and non - liberal), presented in a very beautiful chart.

I've been looking for ways to teach myself to use the R programming language. I'm an engineer with a lot of statistics and data use education. I learned R is a powerful language for statics analysis and big data usage, but did not get any education in it. Since R is free, and I have too much free time, I downloaded the R language and RStudio to write programs in. While I was looking for exercises and tutorials, I found a 40 video long lecture series that walks you through the functionality of R in a very easy to follow along way. Here's the link to the first video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX532N_XLIs&index=1&list=PLqzoL9-eJTNBDdKgJgJzaQcY6OXmsXAHU So far, R is very much like MatLab, and shares a lot of functionality with Minitab. If you're interested in learning some basic programming (easier than Java), and want to learn how to use some excellent tools for data analysis, check out R and the video series all for free. The series is top notch and the guy deserves way more traffic!

Here's an interesting article on the not-so-perfect, current state of scientific research. http://www.economist.com/news/briefing/21588057-scientists-think-science-self-correcting-alarming-degree-it-not-trouble This links to a brief video touching on the same issues. http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2013/10/science-wrong

Hello, I am discussing the statistical proof that when left to their own devices, it is not a "dog eat dog" world when people act in the private market and have to suffer consequences for their actions. Of course this is on contrast to a State, when people are able to use the state as tool to shield them from repercussions of ordering others to murder. I have seen statistics to show that State warfare caused 160 million deaths in the 20th century, and that the total deaths as a result of state power for the 20th century are closer to 220 million. I have also heard several times that the total number of murders in 20th century in the "the private market" (non-state) is closer to 8 Million. Can someone please source this statistic? Specifically "total numbers of murders in the 20th century" (that were not a function of state war) Thank you
