About this listen
Season 1: The Book of Why
Sometimes, the numbers lie—or at least, they seem to. In this episode, we dive into some of the most famous paradoxes in statistics and probability, from Simpson’s paradox to the Monty Hall problem. These puzzles reveal the hidden tensions between correlation and causation, challenging our intuition and exposing the limitations of traditional data analysis. Why do paradoxes arise? How can they mislead us in decision-making, science, and AI? And what does it take to resolve them?
Join us as we unravel the paradoxes that have baffled researchers for decades and explore how causal reasoning provides the key to seeing through the illusion.
