Not as much as you think.
It wasn’t until graduate level statistics until we got into how to tear down bad stats as part of understanding how to make good stats.
Like, even for people who took regular college level statistical analysis, the hardest part of it is still keeping you bias out.
Teach a bunch of high schoolers stats, and they’re gonna think they’re smarter than a gambling app. That leads to more people trying it, and naturally more people getting hooked.
You’re thinking of it as innoculation when it’s more like the first hit for free…
the best way to decrease it is to limit or avoid exposure to gambling until mid 20s when the brain is more likely to be developed.
Considering most videogames have been dopamine hacked with lootcrates and similar. Just like lemmy’s feed, random searching leading to stochastic rewards trigger our hunter gatherer neuro-circuitry the same way gambling does.
No one matures without being tweaked by the more conservative amish and global super-poor.
Sounds a lot like antivacxers screeching everyone gets chickenpox…
Username doesn’t check out. Read up on dopamine hacking then get back to me.

My brother took intro to counselling, diagnosed himself as suffering with Special Boy disease, everyone else in the family with Evil Syndrome and went off the deep end into a full public mental breakdown, from which our relationship has never recovered.

Reminds me of psych 101 - much of the class thought they had something.
