I made a rentry page a week ago, but I want to know
Just read whatever you find anywhere and leave out the opinionated bits.
In other words, you can safely assume the hows, whens, wheres and to a certain extent the whys are accurate and not made up, and anything else - particularly whether he was right or wrong, the bits about whether his victim was right or wrong, whether the cops are lying, whether the McD employee is evil, whether Mangione should be freed or fried… is all a bunch of ultra-biased hogwash, regardless of the bias.
Taking the police and reporting organizations at their word that they are giving factual information about the who, what, when, where, and why is also a bias.
what’s a rentry page
20 years in the future
The implied claim that historical accounts are unbiased seems tenuous.
Why not take in many sources and then average out what you hear?
Hahaha so naive
How so?
The wisdom of the crowds is eerily accurate when there are lots of independent samples. Keyword, independent. As soon as each of the samples are aware of each other, or, the number of independent samples proves to not actually be that high, it falls apart pretty quickly.
Weirdly enough, VSauce just put out a short on this a couple of days ago.
not weirdly enough - I saw the exact same video yesterday, assumed it had been in circulation for a while, and decided to steal his knowledge as my own and presented here like I’m a stats expert
Two independent sources have corroborated the same information. Thus it is factual.
All sources have biases. Just find out what each sources’ biases are, and you should be okay.
