we only use 10% of the brain! The well-known saying is wrong - there is no evidence to support it. However, the argument sounds like the right, so we absorb and repeat it. This is the power of statistics, but also the risk of Statistics.
statistical ignorance of the development of our world. We are worried that things might not kill us (such as terrorist attacks), while ignoring things that might kill us (such as text messaging while driving.) We buy lottery tickets. We are misled by the victims of intuition, instinct makes us prejudiced, such as loss aversion - less than the risk estimates the potential benefits behind. The effect of repeated role in grocery stores, offices and polling stations (not to mention the bedroom: the more risk-averse person, love more prone to failure.)
the situation worse is this: Compared to their parents, we suspect the voting trust scores increased by 53%. (This figure is entirely fabricated out of it?) All of these we easily remember, picked easily figure come from? How they calculated, who calculated? How do we abuse these figures to make the results we want to come? We will discuss statistical Origin series in all of these issues.
Next, the program will go on the probability of the subject of intuition. We will learn to judge what is possible and what is not possible, what is unknowable. We will learn habits of mind distortion, such as selection bias, and how to prevent them. We will also take a gamble. We will read the Richard Hamming (Richard Hamming) [1] book
Finally, we will learn how to use the advantages of statistical data. If only to understand all the potential results in the end can not,

No capital, no traditional voters, they will not be convinced by the traditional policy or inhibition.
but this does not mean that diplomacy came to an end; the opposite. Negotiations with these groups need to have the skills to deal with the same belligerent - necessary to understand who their shareholders, who are their allies must affect their behavior in culture is, and what religious, economic and political interests that they must face The.
Power always depends on who
provide fair, trade and stability. Successful rebels just thugs; they also provide benefits for its members - community, money, education and a sense of order (even if the rebels at first those who create disturbances). We have to learn how to win their loyalty, even if our goal is to undermine it.
In this course we will learn on the world stage some of the most influential entity - religious extremists, criminal enterprise and Diaspora are - is how to maximize their effectiveness online and why online activities must be . For example: the war in South Ossetia, the Russian hackers set up a website, so everyone on them to launch denial of service attacks on Georgian targets sympathy. We will learn how to move around in order to win the hearts and minds that multinational organizations. This requires sophisticated media and start the political offensive - and underground publications and Radio Free Europe (Cold War, for the gradual weakening of the international communist movement) approach is very similar.

waste of
Why study this course?
waste the most productive of the hind legs to drag us, and waste everywhere is.
What you will learn:
how to become smarter consumers, investors and the depositary.
try to interpret the health of a country, economists have a lot of data available: GDP, consumer confidence, the trade balance. But by looking at the total waste, they will know more.
waste not only refers to waste (although a lot of junk does: The United States produced 250 million tons per year). Every year, traffic jams and endless waiting time to waste valuable meeting time for us to lose tens of billions of dollars. Health insurance premiums we spend billions of dollars on a bloated management have been consumed, not used on health care. High unemployment constitutes another waste - fail to invest the available labor force of economic production.
, of course, waste is a simple fact of nature: This is consistent with the second law of thermodynamics. Do not seek to eliminate waste, we need to learn what caused the waste, how to reduce waste, and waste of what may be the intention.
unchecked to see how much can a waste of mass destruction, we will look at recent economic collapse. Derivatives into the mainstream financial markets, they absorb billions of dollars, but then the overall economy is not any good. Innovations that cost money - like many of the risk of subprime mortgages - the worst since the Great Depression on the economic downturn played a role in fueling.
We will learn
engineers, industrialists and economists is how to find new ways to reduce waste. Such as GE and Intel companies are spending billions of dollars to improve their turbine and the efficiency of computer chips.
Finally, we waste more subtle look, and ask how much we can eliminate waste, how much waste is necessary for a healthy economy. Requires a certain degree of excess supply from the disaster to ensure that, just as people have two kidneys, a kidney bad, but also provide the same backup. And economists have summed up a certain proportion of unemployed persons - perhaps the most brutal forms of waste - it is necessary to prevent hyperinflation.

high school in the 20th century, plant economics and home economics courses are considered to be very easy - or even nearly, the holiday has become tedious. But we have to teach those skills courses parted ways. Puts it in the light of science curriculum, re-examination of family life from cooking to every aspect of furniture repair.
18 century, amateurs love to explore at home, pounding drums is not unusual to tinker with things. We will study this history, from the philosopher John Locke (John Locke) [Note 1] and Benjamin Franklin (Benjamin Frankin) [Note 2] to the myth of crackers Kelly ‧ Byron (Kari Byron) [Note 3] and 杰米海纳曼 (Jamie Hyneman) [4]. We will explore the tools, such as DIYbio and Foldit, these tools today are discovering the same spirit.
