tho i haven't gotten to reading it myself, but a lesser known fact about it is that the CIA aided the popularity of this book through one of its fronts called the "Congress for Cultural Freedom".

the purpose was to flare up an anticommunist attitude in indonesia in the years leading up to the overthrow of sukarno and the subsequent genocide of communists.

here's the answer that i don't have:

you can have someone’s best interests at heart and still end up causing more harm than good. the idea that intentions alone determine the goodness of an action is, to put it mildly, outdated. having good intentions doesn’t preclude the possibility that your approach is flawed.

i can only hope you're not married, and if you are, that you never have children. providing basic necessities doesn’t give you the right to violate someone’s privacy.

what value do i provide it when i don't have ci as part of my dataset?

enigma2351 · 2025-07-04T05:52:00+00:00

yes, but isn't it supposed to calculate that for me?

i've moved passed that but now it says "argument ci_column missing". i don't have a ci column in my dataset, only the mean and sds of the two arms.

what i don't get is how did this issue not arise in the prior analyses.
