controversial take but math really isn’t that hard and i don’t understand why the criticism of anti-intellectualism stops at math. people will go on about poor media literacy and then be like oh but math is too hard, gays can’t do math, i’m just a girl and math is scary.

sorry but understanding fractions is just as important as recognizing literary themes. if you want to protect yourself from propaganda and misinformation you need to understand statistics and be comfortable thinking with numbers.

Not to get data science-y on the art blog... but - So much this. There are so many nuances when interpreting data and statistics. A number is only as good as the context it's presented in, and that context can be manipulated to alter the message.

Let's say you read '4% of Americans are currently behind on their mortgages'... What exactly does that mean? What can you infer about the state of loans in general?

One might ask themselves: Is that of all Americans or mortgage holders? What about couples that have both their names on it? What's the typical delinquency rate? High or lower than 4%? Has this rate changed rapidly? Are foreclosures included? Foreclosures within the past how many months?

Understanding the basics of statistics can lead you to ask these kinds of questions, but brushing off math as something you 'just don't get' is excusing yourself for not putting effort into a very key aspect of critical thinking.

"homicides have doubled in this town over the last twenty years!" and the population has quadrupled, so per capita murder rates have actually been HALVED.

you are going to be the most gullible fucking idiot on earth if you don't know how numbers can be used to manipulate you into supporting policy initiatives that make no sense
