Of course people changed their behavior because of Covid models, that's the fucking point. The modelling wasn't wrong it was just predicting what would happen if people didn't follow any precautions, in order to work what precautions were necessary.
- zwaps 6y agoThe models are incomplete. This is the same reason as to why Econophysics, despite all its promise and grandeur, has yet to yield any useful results. Interdependent human beings are a lot more complex entities than particles or flows.
- richardw 6y agoOur emergent behaviour comes from emergent behaviour of particles, because we are them. It’s just harder to predict a few levels of emergence up.
