Comment Re: Good Information... (Score 1) 178

The whole left right paradigm that people continue to use has been bullshit for at least a hundred years. It's merely tool to instill an "us vs them" tribalistic response in a people who are to be controlled, not unlike what a magician / illusionist does: distract people's attention while they pull the rabbit out of the hat with the other hand.

Except in this case it's the establishment elite vs the plebeians, and instead of pulling a quarter out of your ear, they rob you blind at every opportunity, send your job overseas, use your tax money to bomb the crap out of people you never knew existed so the establishment can monopolize their resources, and finally once those people are completely broken, they allow them to illegally and uncontrollably enter your country and replace you altogether, making you pay for the privilege.

Journal Journal: Verbiage: Correlation does not connote causation 5

I just read a comment: "Correlation does not connote causation." A search found the more common adage uses "imply" instead of "connote". Though, they are somewhat synonymous.

Anyway, that seems wrong. I mean, the whole point is that it does indeed imply causation. That's why we need to remind people that it does not equal causation.
