If presented with a nation (comparable in HDI to the US) with average age of first sexual encounter for women being 21+ would your posterior probability of teenage abstinence being achievable be different from your prior?

- big_chungus 7y agoSingapore, the nation where you can't even walk aroud your own house naked (along with other ridiculous laws) and where breach of laws incurs incredibly draconian punishment? We Americans made the security/liberty decision long ago, and picked the right side. Singapore's methods aren't constitutionally applicable to America.
- scarejunba 7y agoThe age of consent in Singapore is 16. That's 3 whole years of teenagery with 3 whole years for a teenager to have legal teenage sex. But I guess if you will set your posterior to exactly equal to your prior faced with this evidence, then we don't really operate with a similar framework for knowledge, so there's very little point in discussing.
