À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode we discuss perhaps the most crucial critical thinking tools of all: knowing that correlation does not necessarily mean cause.

We illustrate this with the correlation between ice cream sales and murders. Then we get into some controversial proposed correlations, such as police and crime, trauma and dissociation, trauma therapy and decompensation, and negative attitudes to paedophilia and paedophilia.


In the process, we discuss the things that are needed to establish cause: 1. Correlation, 2. Cause comes before effect, and 3. Spurious correlations rules out, and 4. Changing one variable in a controlled way effects the other variable.
