    The Most Human Part of Statistics : Error Term

    In this episode, I talk about the error term (the part of every scientific model that cannot be fully explained) and why it might have something to teach us about life.What if uncertainty isn't a flaw to eliminate but a reality to understand?What if many of the things we call discipline, preparation, and wisdom are really our attempts to reduce life's error term?This episode explores why life was never meant to behave like a perfect equation and why that's okay.
