- Ygg2 9y agoI'm very wary of statistics. As the saying goes, there is lies, dirty lies and then there is statistic. A typical example is GDP is going in country X, which means X is doing better!!! Except mean salary is going down, which is a typical for a rich get richer, poor get poorer scenario.
- thaumaturgy 9y agoWell, that's true, data is sometimes misleading, mis-reported, or manipulated. It really is much better to just stick to what we believe in our guts to be true. Belief in the face of evidence to the contrary has been accomplishing great things all over the world lately.
