Add The Nifty, Subtract The Noise

When it comes to knowing what’s best for others and understanding what needs to be done to fix a problem, everyone tends to think they have an idea on how it works. But the fact is that the majority don’t know jack about most, if not all, of the things they try to offer solutions to.

So You Think You Have Time?

We are naturally programmed to think that we have plenty of time to throw away, but the honest truth is that we don’t.

Nature is technically programmed to ensure that time doesn’t stop running, but how much we make of the hours at our disposal is entirely dependent on our consciousness of how necessary it is to sit up and ensure that every minute is spent productively.

You're Better Off Alone!

I'm no love expert but, honestly, it doesn't take a genius to recognize a grubby and squalid relationship.

A relationship can be said to be a connection between two people and their involvement with one another, especially as regards the way they behave toward and feel about eachother. Underline the word 'connection'. Trouble usually starts when the two parties involved begin to show their differences.

The Fallacy of Hasty Generalization

Dear It's Taophieyc reader,

Today, let's talk about a topic of statistics which is now very interwoven with our everyday life. I didn't even realize there was a term for this phenomenon until I heard it in a vox-pop video I saw on youtube.

First and foremost, a fallacy is a mistaken belief, especially one based on unsound argument.

As explained by Wikipedia, hasty generalization is an informal fallacy generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence- essentially making a hasty conclusion without considering all the variables. In statistics, it may involve basing broad conclusions regarding the statistics of a survey from a small sample group that fails to sufficiently represent an entire population.

The fallacy is also known as: Illicit Generalization, Fallacy of Insufficient Sample, Generalization from the Particular, Leaping to a Conclusion, Hasty Induction, Law of Small Numbers, Secundum quid.
