Race, nationality, gender identity, sexuality, permanent disfigurement, financial class, whatever. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (3 children) There's more than 100 possible combinations of race, nationality, gender identity, sexuality disability, etc, so you couldn't accurately represent the whole human population with 100 people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago you don't need to though. Sure you could represent every european ethnicity, but that seems pretty stupid doesn't it? The optimal solution is to just select people from the global population at complete random. Whatever you get is going to be pretty close. Not perfect, but close enough. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 point 1 year ago* Not if they are all nonbinary pansexual...have to think outside the boxes. permalink fedilink source parent [–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 point 1 year ago Not really trying to get every combination...but that would be an interesting challenge at a larger scale. More so...a group of 100 people that is representative of the exact proportion of each individual demographic. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago I am amused by the verbiage of "every way we chop them up" followed by "permanent disfigurement." Which is exactly what they would have if they were chopped up. 😏 permalink fedilink source parent [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago it's pretty simple, you just RNG select people from the population, whatever you're left with is statistically, about as close as you can get to a representative demographic. permalink fedilink source parent [+] GreyAlien@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
