referring to it as the "mizay era" was kinda funny imo

i dont think that post of jordan's backs you up at all?
― D-40, Friday, 24 February 2012 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
the first time deej casually said "Mizay" to me like i was supposed to understand exactly what that name means was right after he declared "there's no way a dude like Lil Durk has as many actual youtube views as Bo Deal" and i was like okay man i don't have the right tunnel vision for this conversation
― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Friday, 24 February 2012 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
i thought the phrase "mizay era" was funny, so does j0rdan

fwiw i'd try to take this offline & talk to him on IM but hes posted IMs publicly in the past so now i dont really feel comfortable doing that either

yeah but how does that have anything to do w/ what you posted
― D-40, Friday, 24 February 2012 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
joe's article on multiple regressions is good but it doesnt actually speak to the issue i was interested in here it just suggests that their attempts to apply statistical analysis could have other variables not taken into acct which i can totally understand, i.e. the diff between rural & city drinkers
but i had never really thought abt the deadly dangers of drunk walking & hit & runs are obv common in some areas based purely on the stats the present up front before even making their argument

i mean, the fact is vehicles are more likely to kill other people anyway, but that wasn't the question it was about chris brown receiving divine comeuppance

i guess one thing that really interests me in life is how people have reasonable & unreasonable fears (well i guess no 'fear' is reasonable but let's say people will manage risks based on perceived risk w/out a real sense of perspective) so what i was wondering was whether or not ppl realize how 'dangerous' drunk walking could be or if freakonomics dudes were just blowing that up for the sake of a hook into a partic. chapter of the book. Like, perceived risks vs. actual risks is something i wonder about a lot (like irrational fear of flying when people are more likely to die in a traffic accident -- sometimes received wisdom is actually wrong! and you don't need flawed statistical analysis to prove it)

deej you should take out daniel kahneman's 'thinking, fast and slow' from the library

ha it's funny you brought this up cuz "you're more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash" is biased in probably very similar ways that the drunk walking vs drunk driving was

well i think its definitively true though in a way their study doesn't seem to be

yeah, was gonna say. deaths per traveler, per trip and per mile traveled are all higher by car, iirc

lamp is right tho everyone should read kahneman

im reading reviews now, partly b/c i was trying to figure out to what degree that was a lamp zing
― D-40, Friday, 24 February 2012 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
it's prob a zing tbh but if all ilx zings were educational we would be much better off
― iatee, Friday, 24 February 2012 21:26 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i mean hes not blowing my mind that 'mr smarm' wasn't a 'zing' that i used 'system 2' to come up w/ here that was kind of my point
but if he was just responding to the drunk driving v drunk walking thing then fair play
― D-40, Friday, 24 February 2012 21:30 (twelve years ago) link
