The Causal Inference Bootcamp is created by Duke University's Education and Human Development Incubator (EHDi) at Duke's Social Sciences Research Institute.

Yo, smart guy, people who can afford to live in placed where there are trees and bushes growing out of their collective noses can afford to live in relatively low crime areas of the country.  You don't expect to find trees galore in the projects.

Allison, don't kid yourself.  Often enough smart is dumb.  Even alleged smart people know that they're dumb.  Just ask them.

Correlation always implies an underlying, unresolved causal structure.
