      That's because they're constantly being misled. As trust in major media platforms declines, we'll see people's perspectives come closer to reality, but generally it's always going to be skewed because our personal perceptions are skewed by our personal reality. You can know there are roughly 330 million people in the US, and then look at 1.5 million trans people and do quick and dirty division in your head and know that's about .5%, and you can guess that 'trans' is probably pretty inclusive of things like people who just use 'xe/xhe' or identify as dragonkin or something, but not really understand that when your interactions online are filled with people with pronouns in their bio screaming about the trans genocide because you won't let them groom your children. It gives everyone a distorted perspective on reality, because most people are not terminally online.

      The subtext (for somewhat educated people) is that Fox tries to construct a problem made by the left that is in fact not a problem.
      The actual issue here is that they complain about over-representation, while at the same time completely ignoring that this over-representation is the result of discrimination, hate and oppression. They demand a representaion which is equal to % numbers, but when "the left" asks for factual equality they dont wanna hear about it.

      but i agree that the number of what we would need went up becasue of inflation. we still get the same money but shit became twice as expensive (food e.g.) so 6--8k/month would be comfortable middle class stuff where you dont have to think all the time if you buy smth (what food is cheaper, can i really buy BIO steak, should i buy new clothes? can i buy this game when its just released, can i get a decent computer thats 90% of what you can get as a casual gamer, can i pay my own therapy or some additional teaching for my kids? stuff like that.)
      as soon as you want more (the best of the best, prestigae car, a boat, holidays with all inclusive each year for the entire family, a pool, etc. you better be upper class xd. or happy with ONE of those, neglecting the others completely. or risking to get fucked over in high age or on an accident etc. with no reserves.

    Another example is religion. They estimated that 27% are Muslim, 30% are Jewish, 33% are atheists and 58% are Christians, making a total of 148%. It's not even close to 100%. I bet if they were asked how many people were Hindus, Buddhists or Shintoists, they would have added another 30 - 40%.

    15:10 The odds are pretty good, because there's a massive selection bias: That 10% is across the _adult_ population. Kids do not fully understand their sexuality - that's why we have things like the age of consent. They're going to "identify" as LGBTQIA+ not because they actually, but because _they don't know what they are_ and being LGBTQIA+ is trendy (in large part because of people like Jesse and DeSantis ensuring that nobody forgets that being LGBTQIA+ is "edgy" and "rebellious".
    I'd be willing to bet around 18 of those 20 students will no longer identify as LGBTQIA+ after graduation. That's the interesting odds. The "odds" Jesse is talking to is like going into a forest and asking what the odds are for finding a tree. Pretty fucking good I'd bet.

    I have not seen anybody do this in these comments, so for those who are interested, here it is:
    Assuming the 7% LGBT statistic is accurate, the probability of getting a 32-pupil classroom with 20 LGBTs is 0.000000000000075%. That's the binomial of n=32, p=0.07, P(X=20) (given that your calculator can calculate numbers that small). If you understand probability, these kinds of claims immediately become suspicious without having to calculate things. I thought it interesting to give it a number though, just so people can appreciate HOW audacious the claim actually was.
    In general, people underestimate the power of large numbers. Here are a bunch of interesting cases:
    Say the probability of a person to be racist be 0.1% (for argument's sake). What is the probability to have no racists in a random group of 10 people and what for 10000 people?
    For 10 people: 99%
    For 10000 people: 0.0045%
    This is why large groups have extreme people in them all the time, even though extremists are, by definition, rare. Anecdotal evidence of extremism in large groups is therefore pointless (e.g. "I found this one racist post on Twitter from a guy who is [insert large group here], so therefore they must be racists").
    Assuming the probability for a man to be hired over a woman of equal qualification is exactly 50% (i.e. equality hiring). What is the probability for the employees to be on parity (i.e. for the employees to be half/half) when a million people are hired from a (significantly larger sized) pool of 50/50 male/female candidates of equal qualification?
    The answer is 0.08%.
    That is why on a societal level one has to choose what to champion for a case: equality or parity. Both cannot be done at once. Parity requires some corrective interference in the process depending on previous outcomes which shifts the probability and thus can never be equal. If this seems counter-intuitive, look at it this way: Imagine you want to walk to a point in the distance with your eyes closed. You look at your target, close your eyes, and start walking. Let's say every step you are off by up to an inch to the left or right. If the target is 10 steps away, you will be off by 10 inches. If the target is 1000 steps away, you will be off by about 28 yards. If the target is a million steps away, you will be off by about 16 miles and the likelihood that you actually arrive at your target is practically 0. Do not believe in the gambler's fallacy, that "Lady Luck" is counterbalancing when the numbers start getting off. That's not how probability works, unless there is something influencing the process.
    People should learn some mathematics. Whenever you start punching the numbers, results can be enlightening for people.

      Not saying the guy was telling the truth but considering it a flat percentage across the board is silly. The demographic and age group is probably a higher percentage and people share ideas and convene together if they agree. So it’s more likely to be a large group of them together than 1 person every 11.

      Love it 👍
      Toss a coin 100 times and you have around an 8% chance of getting exactly 50 of each.
      Have a business with 100 employees and don’t have exactly 50 men and 50 women, with the correct mix of skin colour, across all levels, and all with the same average pay…. And you are systematically discriminating, apparently.
      People are stupid.

      That shit won't work if being LGBT or a student in a 32-pupil classroom is affected by something like age or anything else to make them somehow different from total population

    I saw people on Reddit saying "he only says "hello guys" or "Hello bois" without including other genders", or something similar.
    I have been watching Asmon for over 4 years and it never even came to my mind to be offended because he doesn't say "Guys (and 5 girls that are watching too)".

      Same. Personally, I think "guys" is pretty gender neutral. Or at least I use it as gender neutral. "Hey, guys" to the entirely female group chats never caused problems for me. Also, in gaming specifically, I'll say "bois" or "bro" to literally everyone. I never even thought to feel excluded at all.

    The wealth thing is also a testament to how much some people like to look wealthy and how much time other people spend on instagram looking at these totally fake profiles where people rent a lambo to take pics with, photoshop themselves to look like they travel all the time, etc. A lot of people driving low end luxury cars are essentially car poor, living with a couple roommates to afford a $50k car, or maybe they bought it a few years old for $35k cause they depreciate so bad.
