    the median person uses 0mg of meth a day, the mean person uses about 1.7mg per day.

      The median is a statistical fact that can be used by humans in both good and bad ways. Lots of data can be made to look lots of different ways in the hands of different people.

      That’s why teaching critical thinking (not just the skills but the importance and value) is paramount. People need to understand what they’re looking at. Because sometimes you want the mean, other times you want the median, and if you can’t even understand when you might want one or the other or both for different reasons then you can be led around by the nose with either.

        I just assume all humans are being manipulative and
        never trust whatever it is they are saying
        can’t get fooled if you assume everyone and everything is crooked
        and statistically, you’ll be mostly right.

      It’s almost as if the different forms of averages are useful for different applications.
