Why do leftists hate statistics as a field so much?
gpt
I like statistics. I dislike irrelevant statistics which have little to do with the argument at hand, though.

What I don't like is discriminating against the vast majority of people, due to the criminal actions of a small minority.

I'm not okay with discriminating against men because we're statistically more likely to be violent, discriminating against black people because they're more likely to deal drugs, or discriminating against a gay man just because he's more "likely" to be a sexual deviant or criminal.

Why is this so difficult to understand? I don't think that the ends justify the means. I don't think that arbitrary discrimination based on group characteristics is acceptable for a little bit more safety in society. In the same way that I wouldn't be okay with people being denied gun rights arbitrarily, even though that might lead to more gun violence.
