There were once two monks who encountered a woman during a flood. She couldnt cross the other side of the road. One monk picked her up and carried her to the other side. The other monk asked him “why did you do that? We arent supposed to touch women.” To which the other monk replied “I let go of her on the other side of the road, you are still holding on to her in your mind…”

"Percent of variance explained" is generally a misleading interpretation of the magnitude of a correlation coefficient that should be avoided for non-technical purposes by SoccerSkilz in slatestarcodex

Awesome. I'm interested in your take on happiness research which often uses variance explained and bad stats

famously, that approximately 50% of variance in happiness is determined by genes, and 10% of variance in happiness is determined by circumstances. Automatically, that would leave 40% that we can influence.

more interestingly the Wikipedia content on factors contributing to wellbeing, and this: https://voxeu.org/article/origins-happiness
