Some thought to give when considering the role of Google and Facebook in manipulating the US elections.
The guy is a quack and his “conclusions” are bad enough that they would get an F in an actual stats or analytics class.
Who told you that? Have you sat in any of his seminars? I won't bother to ask if you watched the video.
Perhaps you should contact Standford University about him so that they won't invite him back.
Nobody told me, I read his work on this and the previous “study” that he based these results on. Doing so it became obvious he is a psychologists trying to play analyst and failing.
His “results” have never been replicated by any other study, which is vital.
His conclusions stem from a “study” of 95 people in which he concluded that if there are two completely unknown candidates running for an office, the one that gets the better search results gets more votes. (Pretty much a “no shit” result). His failure lies in that he took those same results and applied them to the election of two of the best known people in the country.
Colleges love to have quacks come talk
