"Science and by extension life is a Bayesian process. We are all Bayesian statisticians and dont even realize it We are always validating and checking our assumptions. And when we approach a situation weve never experienced we use some of our prior life experience to try to infer what the outcome will be. Bayes theorem is probably the single most important thing any rational person can learn. So many of our debates and disagreements that we shout about are because we dont understand Bayes theorem or how human rationality often works.

"Most people know NW Ohio for farms and Lake Erie. It is one of the most extreme wetland loss stories in the U.S. European settlement brought farmland and helped power the early American economy but it also came with a major cost: drained wetlands lost biodiversity and weakened natural systems that once protected water quality. A few key facts: The continental U.S. has lost 53% of its wetlands since European settlement. Ohio in particular has lost about [--] percent of its original wetlands. The Great Black Swamp that once covered much of NW OH has been reduced to about [--] percent remaining."

"Ohio in particular has lost more than 90% of its wetlands. They were drained tilled and plowed to support the development of farmland. The biggest and most notorious one was called "The Great Black Swamp". Only 5% of it remains today and is primarily concentrated in NW Ohio. Iowa is even worse; they've lost 95% of their wetlands. In roughly [---] years the United States drained over half of the wetlands that once covered the continent. Those wetlands slowed floods stored seasonal water filtered rivers and supported massive bird and fish nurseries. When they disappeared rivers ran faster flood"

"Grand Lake St. Marys (GLSM) located in St. Marys and Celina OH was once the poster child for harmful algal blooms in the US but the story is more complicated than most people realize. Its history its hydrology and its long struggle with nutrient pollution explain why recovery has been so difficult. I grew up just ten minutes from this lake and spent my childhood swimming in it so this thread is personal.

"Coaches GMs managers and executives are all evaluated on short timelines. Quarterly earnings. Annual reviews. One bad season and you are fired. Development is a long term investment but accountability is short term. So people protect themselves. In sports this gets framed as young players arent ready. But that misses the point. Modern systems dont develop talent anymore. They demand finished products. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2009652558613115092 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2009652558613115092"

"Survivorship bias makes this worse. We remember: Rookie QBs who failed New hires who flamed out We forget: Veteran placeholders who went nowhere The cost of never developing replacements So it feels like young talent is worse when actually theyre just less protected while learning"

"@IKE_Packers I understand what youre saying but two totally different eras. Players back then were paid a nickel a game and needed to be motivated. Players today dont need motivated; they need to put into a position to succeed"

"My stats professor used to say The most accurate estimate is often wrong. That idea sits at the heart of "Steins Paradox". In environmental data it explains why pooling sites can outperform precise site by site estimates and why it can still mislead you.

"When estimating many related quantities at once shrinking individual estimates toward a group mean can reduce total error even if each site has its own data. Counterintuitive but mathematically real"

"If you gently pull each players average toward the league mean your overall predictions improve. You lose a little individual precision but gain accuracy across the group. That is Steins Paradox"

"Now pretend your a scientist. Say youre estimating nutrient levels or bloom intensity across [--] lakes but each lake has only a few samples. Some lakes look extreme simply due to sampling noise.

"But heres the danger: If lakes differ structurally (basin type land use temperature regime) over shrinking can hide real extremes. Western Lake Erie is not the same as offshore basins. Pooling can flatten signals that matter for management"

"This is why hierarchical models work so well in environmental science. They reduce noise without pretending all systems are the same. Neither full pooling nor no pooling wins universally"

"Then came diversity. Wildflowers. Insects. Elk and birds. Trees too. Some trees like lodgepole pine depend on fire to release their seeds. Fire didnt block recovery. It enabled it. As Dr. Ian Malcom once said: "Life finds a way""
