Global News Podcast
Ukraine marks 4th anniversary of Russian invasion

I mean, this is a problem that goes back decades where, you know, originally the CIA realized that amongst themselves, even writing reports, they meant very different things. Of course, if you put a phrase like realistic possibility or one of the ones that struck them was a serious possibility of an invasion. And the person that goes to has a very different mental idea of actually what that means. You can get into trouble. So there's been attempts, you know, for example, in UK guidance, realistic possibility issues.

Yhdysvalloissa ja hallituksella. Esimerkiksi kovidipÀÀtökset, joita katsoit, kun ne menivÀt jÀrjestelmÀÀn, niillÀ oli yksi hieno jÀrjestelmÀ. Natoilla on samanlainen, IPCC on toinen, jossa sanotaan, ettÀ jos kÀytÀt tÀtÀ kertaa, niin tÀmÀ on se, mitÀ tarkoitat. Se on todella hyödyllistÀ ihmisille, jotka työskentelevÀt niistÀ asioista.

Se, mikÀ on mielenkiintoista, on se, ettÀ instituutioissa on melko erilaista, miten erilaiset organisaatiot mÀÀrittÀvÀt nÀmÀ. Mutta dataissa, joissa on muutama tuhat ihmisiÀ, nÀemme hieman enemmÀn optimismia amerikkalaisille, noin 3% ylipÀÀtÀÀn, jos kysytÀÀn, mitÀ se tarkoittaa. MeillÀ on myös hieman variaatiota, esimerkiksi vanhempien ryhmien kanssa on hieman enemmÀn pessimismiÀ, kun ihmiset saavat enemmÀn yliopistoja ja koulutuksia.

Mutta on ollut erilaisia historiallisia esimerkkejÀ, joissa tÀmÀ on saanut aika ison ongelman. Koronan maa on esimerkiksi sellainen, jossa brittiset sotilaat huomioivat, ettÀ asiat pysyvÀt hieman pysyvÀllÀ ja amerikkalaiset kÀsittelevÀt sitÀ niin, ettÀ asiat pysyvÀt pysyvÀllÀ ja kaikki oli ok.

Hyvin lyhyesti, ei vÀlttÀmÀttÀ sanoja, voidaanko vain vÀlttÀmÀttÀ kÀyttÀÀ niitÀ? MielestÀni se on vaikeaa, koska ettei halua vain vahvistaa ihmisiÀ numeroihin, ja se voi olla erittÀin hyödyllistÀ kommunikoida selkeÀsti kielenÀ. Ja mielestÀni on paljon kertoja, joissa todennÀköisesti paljon ihmisiÀ, se on melko selkeÀ, mitÀ tarkoitat, mutta mielestÀni se on erittÀin tÀrkeÀÀ, joissa on kertoja kuten realistinen mahdollisuus olla ymmÀrtÀvÀ, ja vaikka puhutaan, ettÀ voidaanko tai voidaanko, ehkÀ olla ymmÀrtÀvÀ, ettÀ voimme yrittÀÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ vÀlttÀmÀttÀ, jos kÀytÀmme niitÀ kertoja ensimmÀisenÀ.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

I mean, I think a lot of it comes to the sort of work I do in my day job where we have to deal with a lot of evidence under pressure, particularly if you work in outbreaks or emerging health concerns.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

And often it really pushes to the limits our methodology and how we converge on what's true subject to potential revision in the future.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

I think particularly having a background in maths, I think you kind of grow up

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

with this idea that you can get to these concrete, almost immovable truths.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

And then even just looking through the history, realizing that often isn't the case, that there's these kind of very human dynamics that play out around them.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

And it's something I think that everyone in science can reflect on, that sometimes what convinces us doesn't convince other people.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

And particularly when you have that kind of urgency of time pressure, working out how to navigate that.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

Yeah, sure.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

So I think it's a problem that's been around for a while and it's based on this game show.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

So you've got three doors that are closed.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

Behind two of the doors are a goat and behind one of the doors is a luxury car.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

So obviously you want to win the car.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

The host asks you to pick a door.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

So you point to one, maybe door number two.

Ground Truths
Adam Kucharski: The Uncertain Science of Certainty

Then the host who knows what's behind the doors opens another door to reveal a goat and then ask you, do you want to change your mind?
