understanding how pattern recognition works and where to apply its findings. gonna maybe make sure i’m not lingering in bad parts of town, just like i’m not gonna linger in the trailer park. ofc pattern recognition is applicable in all parts of life, that is quite literally what it exists for
the point is that people use “pattern recognition” as an excuse to be racist, i.e “black people are all violent bc they commit more violent crimes in the US… ohh im just recognizing patterns im not racist 🥺” but when you point out school shooting/rape statistics they say “he’s just a bad guy don’t generalize about an entire race IM not a bad guy”. it’s hypocritical and racist and ignores the background context of most social issues
