The Logical Fallacy Paradise

Behold, the utopian future we'd have if people understood basic logical equivalences! That bottom equation—P(A|B)=P(B|A)—is the most criminal offense here. That's like saying "the probability it's raining given there are clouds equals the probability there are clouds given it's raining." No wonder we're still stuck with traffic jams instead of flying cars.

The meme perfectly captures that fantasy world where confusing correlation with causation and butchering Bayes' theorem somehow leads to a futuristic paradise. Spoiler alert: misunderstanding conditional probability is precisely why your weather app still says "30% chance of rain" on days when you're already soaking wet.
