this image is photoshopped. i can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

I bet he thinks ice cream is correlated with the violent crime too

That "teacher" has interpretation, extrapolation, and interpolation issues.

Teaching students to not conflate correlation with causation by pointing out absurd assumptions of causality from real correlations.

Probably trying to make a point that correlation and causation are not always related.

The fuckig disrespect to barely blur this man's face and post him in a photoshopped t-shirt that makes him look like a piece of shit.

What the fuck is wrong with you? What did this man do to you that you would post this online? You think that blur job is doing anything?

"Relax, it's just a joke"

PEOPLES LIVES HAVE BEEN RUINED FOR THIS KIND OF SHIT! All it takes is one dumbfuck to not see that it's a joke to cause a problem. One parent who complains to the admin who grill this guy for no reason. One shithead student who starts a rumor about him.

Fuck you OP. I hope someone plasters YOUR shitty blurred face all over the internet and tries to tie YOU to being a racist, elitist, piece of shit.

Best correlation/causation explation:

It's the Correlation vs Causation T-shirt.

I believe the correct answer to OPs question is "an object lesson in the difference between correlation and causality.

Or proof he doesn't understand that difference, whichever applies.

This is what happened.

A shirt that screams that correlation =/= causation.

This needs a Hide The Pain Harold faceswap.

Even though you could argue the graphs are right, that still does not mean the variables are related in some way.

It's a round about way of expressing that correlation does not imply causation. It was done so that everytime someone shares this meme of a guy wearing a T-shirt over his flannel, someone in the audience can explain that the graphs intentionally represent a fallacy.

I can’t debate it

I had the post loaded earlier from scrolling on the toilet and now that I'm scrolling on the toilet again the post has been removed but I have the original photo in my feed still so here it is if you are confused, without the dude's face

Wait, did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity?

He's wearing correlation without causation.

Clearly he has studied history.

So that's what Dr Breen has been up to.
