The sky is blue.
It’s not ALWAYS blue. Sometimes it’s red, orange or purple or grey.
But it is NEVER green.
That’s why we say the sky is blue. Because it is ESSENTALLY blue.
There is a concerted effort to manipulate us into thinking we can’t make such statements anymore.
They say: “THAT’S A GENERALISATION!”
Of course, it is. You dumb fuck.
All declarative statements about the real world are generalisations.
- People have 10 fingers.
- Spiders have 8 legs.
- Women have hourglass figures.
Yes, there are exceptions, but so what?
The exceptions don’t disprove the overall trend or correlation.
The blue graph shows a strong correlation with some outliers.
The red graph shows a situation where there is no correlation at all.
They are not the same thing, no matter how much these bastards try to lie and manipulate you.
