You keep demonstrating how few of my posts you have actually read.

Either Trump is a poorly informed moron or he is a liar, either way he fails. Personally, I think it is both.

"...entitled to opinion"? That is an odd way to phrase it. Also Americans spell proselytizing with a Z.

What you are doing is no different than religious proselytizing, and on some fourms that is considered ban worthy spam. You show little to no interest...

Probably just the talking points laid out by his employer.

??????? ?????? ???????, ???

You talk about Trump A LOT. I checked your posting history.

All you do is talk about Trump.

I have said all I am going to say about this problem, as at this point the arguments are just recycling themselves. I am fully satisfied with my appro...

Data science, strangely enough, involves data. As a data scientist your job is to analyze the data, then it is the job of the subject matter experts t...

If you are not willing to read the thread, then I am not willing to read your post.

It should probably all be reviewed and written up in proper notation, but it has been such a long thread I am not sure I want to spend the time to do ...

You scratch at the surface for superficial comprehension and try to peddle that as wisdom. Real comprehension takes real work and I just don't see the...

R and S is the event you have X or 2X when you get A. By definition of A and B, if A=X then B =2X, or if A =2X then B=X. So by definition if A equals ...

I pointed out a few times that the sample space of event R and the sample space of event S are equal subsets of each other, which means mathematically...

I know this is a long thread, but tacking remarks on the end while only skimming though it, or skipping pages just leads to repeated content.

I am not doing this, not until you actually read all of my posts in this thread.

You get what you paid for.

Science is good. Looks like someone can say it. Should I test that again?

I changed the code a bit to come up with another visual demonstration. I changed the two.envelopes function to just output A and then copied it to ano...

Are you a Russian cyber troll?

They were hacked.

That is not correct. Mueller is tasked with investigating the Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 elections. This includes investigating ...

I have been messing with this in R, and wrote a function which simulates the game. Note that is not a simple repeated sample from a predefined sample ...

The difference between the two envelopes will always be X and you don't need to be God to understand that very simple concept.

And algebra.

Then what you are saying is that I am more of a philosopher than you are.

There is a reason we need to consider X as an unknown and approach it as such, with algebra. To do otherwise means making a bunch of baseless assumpti...

Furthermore, it makes no sense to use a probability density curve on this problem, considering X would only be selected ONCE, which means X<2X ALWAYS ...

That is a very bad understanding of what a sample space and an event is. You are not applying your Principle of Indifference there, which states from ...

Some people want the glory of being called philosopher but they don't want to put in the hard work to get there.

If STEM is philosophy then why do you not pursue it? When you get right down to it, there is no way any legitimate philosopher can bypass math and/or ...

What is your PhD in?

It seems some people like to sport "philosophy" in the same fashion the emperor strutted around in his new clothes.

You are still avoiding my question.

Sure I did, you said a whole lot of nothing.

You didn't answer the question.

Superficial nonsense. What actual skills do you have that could be used to advance STEM research?

It is a good thing then that I don't have a burning desire to persuade you. Personally, I think philosophy is for those who are not focused enough for...

The simple fact that it is there is not a reason to include it. Determining what information to include is part of the process, you need actual justif...

There has been no justified reason at all as to why we should engage in fantasy over reality.

In relation to the problem in the OP: Why do you need to include Y, Michael? There is no justified reason to do that. It does not provide updated info...

What is the point if you are just modeling yourself? Math and science should help us diverge from the self and step closer to the truth.

In the end all that philosophy really tells us is what we already knew

The more I read the responses to this thread, the more appreciation I grow for a good quality book.

I think the linear framework humans tend to think in makes hard determinism inviting to people. When we think about cause and effect we tend to think ...

You are anthropomorphizing cause and effect. Objective cause and effect has no will of its own, that is a human trait.

Hard determinism is very black and white, which is why people grasp on to it; however, I think things are a bit more involved, and like I said the con...

Correlation does not necessitate causation. So many people make that mistake, it is likely by far the most common error when assessing "evidence."

Seems like you made a choice to me. We make choices all the time, some we make on the spot while others we take time to think about. That much should ...
