@DrYohanJohn And this is why metaphysics should be naturalized... I'd recommend 'Every Thing Must Go' by Ladyman & Ross.

@JPCaron1 I wasn't aware of this, will have to pick it up as I'm just finishing Kripke's Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language, a text I found very productive for my own research.

The Taming of Chance

Ian Hacking
AA CaviaAA Cavia

@bat020 Not at all. You're about 80 years off, I invite you to read Ian Hacking's 'The Taming of Chance' for a social history of statistics. Rooted in functions of the state in managing populations, but not eugenic in nature at that point (1800-1860).
