View Full Version : Statistics Propagating Hatred in Society

Here is one statistical data that hasn’t been reported by the news media to the general public. In 100% years of gathering statistical data behavioral scientists have been able to solve 0% percent social behavioral problems. In short, the odds of behavioral scientists solving behavioral problems with statistics are zero to none.

Let’s compare gathering statistical data with medical physicians requiring their nurses gathering vital signs (i.e. blood pressure, body temperature, weight, height etc.). Vitals signs identify the trend of the human body’s physical health. Medical physicians track our vital signs to signal an alarm if our physical health may be experiencing complications. Either our physical health is moving upward, downward or laterally.

Medical physicians rarely formulate diagnosis solely on vital signs. Rather, they gather samples (blood or urine etc.), take x-rays or schedule MRI examinations to perform more precise analysis. The latter enables personnel of the medical field to identify the origin of problems prior to concluding their medical opinions.

The news media broadcast the statistical reports gathered by behavioral scientists. The general public automatically reacts to the reports as supplying vital information to formulate opinions. In reality the reports are germinating meme viruses (i.e. rumors, gossip, rhetoric or propaganda) that chain react into forms of ethnic hatred.

For example: The news media may report that African Americans represent a small percentage of the population yet a large percentage of the welfare population. Whites may conclude from the report that Blacks are the problem affecting our economy. As a result they may flock to the polls or lobby legislators to pass laws for welfare reform.

The irony of the crisis is that behavioral scientists are actually the primary carriers of the viruses that they are supposed to be decontaminating in society. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) should be made aware of the problem. Otherwise, the virus will continue spreading like wildfire among our general population.

"In 100% years of gathering statistical data behavioral scientists have been able to solve 0% percent social behavioral problems."

What evidence do you cite to back this up?

What do you mean solve, eliminate? Because this data you speak of has increased understanding, and the vast majority of behavioural scientists are in favour of an understanding, compassionate stance on these issues, rather than a racist one as you suggest.

"In short, the odds of behavioral scientists solving behavioral problems with statistics are zero to none."

Again, back this up. I strongly disagree.
Heres a pointer: Kinsey the sex biologist and statistician, collected and reported data that made many people more aware of the popularity of homosexual and lesbian behaviour in society, when it was previously taboo. As a result society has a more open minded and accepting view towards this behaviour than the idea that it is pure evil and not to be talked about.

Besides, what proportionate of behavioural scientists are specifically behavioural problems rates with race?

If the situation is that certain races have more social/behavioural problems then isn't the aim of finding that truth also looking for a solution?
That is, attributing social reasons to social problems, rather than racial reasons to social problems?

You must also realise the extent to which the media distort the truth to get a story, or good ratings, as this is the source of their revenue, wealth, and power.

Do you have any news stories that you would like to refer to specifically? Ones that have offended you?

If the facts are being reported in a skewed, biased way, thats the fault of those who are reporting them! Not the fault of the facts.

Can I sum up my point:
Facts are facts, and are innocent.
Lies, and rumours based on lies are what you have a problem with, because they are socially destructive.
Providing those who claim to be collecting facts, collect and report facts truthfully, how can this be destructive?
