Conspiracy, Gambling, and the Odds
This chapter examines the rise of conspiracy theories post-9/11 and the misconceptions surrounding animals sensing disasters. It also discusses the fallacies in understanding probability and statistics, particularly in gambling scenarios, illustrating how cognitive biases can distort perceptions of randomness. The conversation raises critical questions about education in probability and its implications on public policy and individual decision-making.
