The study you’re referencing didn’t examine elite schools just non-religious.

And if you’re only counting elite schools there are so many uncontrolled confounders that this is a patently stupid argument.

Elite schools are selective, a large part of what they are selecting for is kids who are likely to get into elite colleges to keep their success rates up.

Of course kids who are screened for being likely to get into an elite college are more likely to get into an elite college.

The only realistic way to control for this is to look at kids who got into elite schools but decided not to go.

>check with AI

Kick rocks. I’m not normalizing this shit. Why didn’t you check with AI. It would have told you that omitting key information to save a few keystrokes was a bad move.

You’re just saying that because you think you’re clever, making your little mathematical quip rather than looking into the actual data and argument.

People clearly have preconceived conclusions and they don’t have an interest in learning any facts.

  • Look at this guy over here with his math and his statistical literacy you guys. He doesn’t even spend all day talking to AI.
