Taleb Bans Statistica da Puta

A mild guy: "The problem is much more complicated than it seems to the casual, mechanistic user who picked it up in graduate school. Statistics can fool you. In fact it is fooling your government right now. It can even bankrupt the system"

Who practices what he preaches: " Professor Bernanke indeed found plenty of economic explanations—what I call the narrative fallacy—with graphs, jargon, curves, the kind of facade-of-knowledge that you find in economics textbooks. (This is the kind of glib, snake-oil facade of knowledge—even more dangerous because of the mathematics—that made me, before accepting the new position in NYU's engineering department, verify that there was not a single economist in the building.)"

University of Chicago's Death Eater

Brooks is a fine example that the best Versaillean lapdog is the dog who wants nothing more than to lap up the bon bons proffered to those in the lap of Versailles.

Meanwhile, on the Gorebal Warming front.

Who can manipulate da Data can? Da Scientific Mann fan!

"For E. Michael Smith .... it became clear this was not a random strange pattern he was finding, but a well designed and orchestrated manipulation process. "The more I looked, the more I found patterns of deletion that could not be accidental. Thermometers moved from cold mountains to warm beaches; from Siberian Arctic to more southerly locations and from pristine rural locations to jet airport tarmacs. The last remaining Arctic thermometer in Canada is in a place called 'The Garden Spot of the Arctic,’ always moving away from the cold and toward the heat. I could not believe it was so blatant and it clearly looked like it was in support of an agenda,” Smith says."

Matematica Mord: or, When a PP Jeremiah Confronts "Feynman"


Mr. Miles' opus is Chock Full of nice Jeremiahic moments, such as:

"Einstein had said, "You know, once you start calculating (with abstract mathematics) you shit yourself up before you know it." But suddenly, in 1912, he developed a fondness for this mess. Perhaps he saw darkly what Heisenberg would see very clearly: the 20th century would have a love affair with shit. The century proved this in every field, from art to math to science to war to politics to entertainment to sex. The century loved nothing so much as watching someone foul
himself in public"

Naturally, as he's full of shit, he'll get the girl.
