Applying a universal statistic to an individual anecdote is as much as a fallacy as applying an individual anecdote to be a universal experience imo

you have a deeply deeply wrong understanding of statistics or the point of it. it's not for the indivual to go "huh I guess I shouldn't improve myself and try to achieve something great because only 1% have done it". it's there to use in PREDICTIVE, historical and risk/reward or safety situations. statistics are a tool used to help give an overview of a given thing.

heavy cope to be honest, this idea exist in the opposite way too , if there's a 0.1% chance statistically for a person to become a pro runner, and I have no legs with no mitigation that becomes 0% to me. no one in this world who creates statistics argue that statistics merely show the probability of an outcome , it shows the probability of a multitude variables being fulfilled which then results/allows an outcome , unfortunately some of the variables aren't decided by you.

99% of the population doesn’t understand statistics. So sister is not alone.

Yeeeees, too many people have become comfortable blaming their lack of success on being “victims of society”. You want something, go get it.

Very flawed logic here, If you are changing "controlling" the variables, then you no longer exists within the framework of that same statistics you have a separate observation !

Statistics are like bikini’s; what they tell you is interesting, what they don’t tell you? Equally as interesting

when someone tells me they "don't believe in statistics", immediately stop listening. and btw statistics doesnt determine the outcome, it describes the past and estimates the future. of course the lottery winner will tell you it was easy buying the ticket, but you can't comprehend the millions who didn't win.

"I don't believe in statstics". You don't believe in general statistics then (which aren't that useless by the way). There are very specified statistics used by - for example - by scientist. I know you know this, but take in account there people here on tiktok who just hear you say "all statistics bad and useless - never believe them" and they go with that tought into the world spreading misinformation.

A household rule for my kids: avoid the word "can't".
I encourage them to use "I haven't figured out how to yet..." or "I'm having trouble with..." etc.
As long as there is a non 0% chance that something can be done - it can be done. Even then, maybe its just that someone hasn't figured it out yet.

I don't believe in statistics is an insane statement. However understanding that statistics doesn't dictate anything for you that you have control over is important.

Your message is exactly the same as Jordan Peterson’s. I encourage you to spread it as far and wide as you can. If everyone adopted this mentality the world would be a much better place.

I don’t believe in statistics because Bayesian thinking leads you to global skepticism quite fast

100%. Statistics are incredibly useful and also incredibly unable to capture the unpredictability of being human. The fear of Type I errors massively limits both thought and potential and shaves off individual nuance for safe and predictable population means. This is the pervasive effect it has in so much human consciousness. It’s also damaging to any possible placebo effects because placebo relies on being statistically improbable to work

Everything is 50/50. Chances getting 6 on a dice? 50%! Either you get it or you don't

If the two of us are sitting at a table and I eat two steaks, then statistically, on average, we’re both full.

For example the top 1%. 80% never even tries, 15% gives up after a month etc (statistics pulled out of my ass). Statistics are just broader, i never like them to be told
