Yeah, I’m big on this stuff because I like scientific studies to be biased towards me. So like, imagine there is some treatment for a disease that only works on people who live in San Francisco.

My ideal outcome is that the study is accidentally biased to serve us and that all of America pays for this medicine.

Ideally, all outcomes are tailored to me through sheer participation bias.

Sure sure, everyone knows that sampling bias exists but there is a systemic human bias to what has been measured. I intend to exploit that.

And as for my data, Equifax got the most sensitive stuff so I’m not worried about anything else.
