NEIL deGRASSE-TYSON: "I just I've come to recognize that the human brain is not wired for thinking statistically or probabilistically about anything. And then I looked at the history of math. Do you realize the first time anyone took an average of numbers and figured out that that was a good idea was after calculus had been invented? So that tells me that it is not natural to think that way anyway. And there are entire industries that have risen up to exploit that fact. And they're call casinos! Because people say, Look! It's two!. No, it's not two. You don't understand probability and statistics."
BILL MAHER: "But again. NEIL deGRASSE-TYSON: So in that in that so that means we're incapable as a species of truly understanding risk. That that and this this goes to vaccines. Okay? I don't want to poke the bear here. But. But what I'm saying is. BILL MAHER: The bear believes in vaccines. Just being skeptical of all medical interventions, as everyone should."
