Will Rogers

William Penn Adair "Will" Rogers (November 4, 1879 – August 15, 1935) was an American cowboy, vaudeville performer, humorist, newspaper columnist, social commentator, and stage and motion picture actor.

Known as "Oklahoma's Favorite Son", Rogers was born to a prominent Cherokee Nation family in Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma). He traveled around the world three times, made 71 movies (50 silent films and 21 "talkies"), and wrote more than 4,000 nationally syndicated newspaper columns. By the mid-1930s, the American people adored Rogers. He was the leading political wit of his time, and was the highest paid Hollywood movie star. Rogers died in 1935 with aviator Wiley Post, when their small airplane crashed in northern Alaska.

Rogers's vaudeville rope act led to success in the Ziegfeld Follies, which in turn led to the first of his many movie contracts. His 1920s syndicated newspaper column and his radio appearances increased his visibility and popularity. Rogers crusaded for aviation expansion, and provided Americans with first-hand accounts of his world travels. His earthy anecdotes and folksy style allowed him to poke fun at gangsters, prohibition, politicians, government programs, and a host of other controversial topics in a way that was appreciated by a national audience, with no one offended. His aphorisms, couched in humorous terms, were widely quoted: "I am not a member of an organized political party. I am a Democrat." Another widely quoted Will Rogers comment was "I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts."

Will Rogers (Oklahoma politician)

Will Rogers (December 12, 1898 – August 3, 1983) was a United States Representative from Oklahoma.

Born on a farm near Bessie, Oklahoma Territory, son of John and Martha Ellen (Hatchett) Rogers, Rogers attended the public schools and Southwestern Teachers College in Weatherford, Oklahoma. He then attended Central Teachers College in Edmond, Oklahoma, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1926 and a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1929. He continued his education at the University of Oklahoma in Norman and received a Master of Science degree in 1930.

Rogers began his career as an educator by teaching in the public schools of Bessie, Oklahoma from 1917 to 1919. He then became the principal of the public schools in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and held that position until 1923. He was the superintendent of schools in several Oklahoma school districts from 1923 to 1932.

Rogers was elected as a Democrat to the 73rd and four succeeding Congresses (March 4, 1933 – January 3, 1943). He served as chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs in the 74th through 77th Congresses. While serving as a Representative at-large, he was an unsuccessful candidate for nomination in 1941 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Sam C. Massingale in the seventh district for the 77th Congress. He was not a candidate for renomination in 1942.

20th century

The 20th century was a century that began on January 1, 1901 and ended on December 31, 2000. It was the tenth and final century of the 2nd millennium. It is distinct from the century known as the 1900s (sometimes written as 19XX), which began on January 1, 1900 and ended on December 31, 1999.

Dubbed the "short twentieth century", this century in human history was dominated by chain of events that heralded significant changes in world history as to redefine the era: World War I and World War II, nationalism and decolonization, the Cold War and Post-Cold War conflicts, cultural homogenization through developments in transportation and communications technology, world population growth, awareness of environmental degradation, ecological extinction and the birth of the Digital Revolution. It saw great advances in communication and medical technology that by the late 1980s allowed for near-instantaneous worldwide computer communication and genetic modification of life.

Overview

The century had the first global-scale total wars between world powers across continents and oceans in World War I and World War II. Nationalism became a major political issue in the world in the 20th century, acknowledged in international law along with the right of nations to self-determination, official decolonization in the mid-century, and nationalist-influenced armed regional-conflicts.

The 20th Century

The Twentieth Century was a documentary television program, sponsored by the Prudential Insurance Company, which ran on the CBS network from 20 October 1957 until 4 January 1970. It was hosted by Walter Cronkite. The opening and closing theme music was written by composer George Antheil.

The program presented filmed reports on news and cultural events that were important for the development of the 20th century. The show did not just present the events, but also interpreted them. Such subjects as World War I and major assassinations were presented in context.

On 20 January 1967, the show was renamed The 21st Century, sponsored by Union Carbide ("The Discovery Company"). The show's focus changed to the future, and what mankind could look forward to. The 21st Century was cancelled after three seasons (its final broadcast appeared on 4 January 1970). The reason given was that the writers had run out of things to talk about. However, it is possible that CBS may have wished to replace it with a more commercially successful program.

  The Will Rogers Paradox Explained

  Wouldn’t it be great if we could skip all those expensive, time intensive, and invasive medical procedures and just make sick people better without doing anything at all? Well, it turns out, in a very unexpected way, you can. But, it’s not exactly what you think it’s going to be. This is going to be the story of how one comedian in the early part of the 20th century made such an unexpectedly insightful joke that we can actually use the same insights to trick us into thinking we’ve helped sick people by doing nothing, when, of course, that’s not really possible. Welcome to Data Demystified. I’m Jeff Galak and in this episode we’re going to talk about the Will Roger’s Paradox and how it can seriously mislead us.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could skip all those expensive, time intensive, and invasive medical procedures and just make sick people better without doing anything at all? Well, it turns out, in a very unexpected way, you can. But, it’s not exactly what you think it’s going to be. This is going to be the story of how one comedian in the early part of the 20th century made such an unexpectedly insightful joke that we can actually use the same insights to trick us into thinking we’ve helped sick people by doing nothing, when, of course, that’s not really possible. Welcome to Data Demystified. I’m Jeff Galak and in this episode we’re going to talk about the Will Roger’s Paradox and how it can seriously mislead us. But first let’s talk about a joke made about migration from the dust bowl to California in the early 20th century. Will Rogers, a famous comedian of the time made this joke: “When the Okies left Oklahoma and moved to California, they raised the average intelligence in both states.” Not exactly the funniest joke by today’s standards, but basically, he’s saying that when some of the folks from Oklahmoa moved to California, they made both places smarter. But how can that be? How can one group leaving a state and moving to another state make both states smarter? That seems like an impossibility, and yet it’s actually completely possible and is the root of the Will Roger’s Paradox, named as such because of this joke.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could skip all those expensive, time intensive, and invasive medical procedures and just make sick people better without doing anything at all? Well, it turns out, in a very unexpected way, you can. But, it’s not exactly what you think it’s going to be. This is going to be the story of how one comedian in the early part of the 20th century made such an unexpectedly insightful joke that we can actually use the same insights to trick us into thinking we’ve helped sick people by doing nothing, when, of course, that’s not really possible. Welcome to Data Demystified. I’m Jeff Galak and in this episode we’re going to talk about the Will Roger’s Paradox and how it can seriously mislead us. But first let’s talk about a joke made about migration from the dust bowl to California in the early 20th century. Will Rogers, a famous comedian of the time made this joke: “When the Okies left Oklahoma and moved to California, they raised the average intelligence in both states.” Not exactly the funniest joke by today’s standards, but basically, he’s saying that when some of the folks from Oklahmoa moved to California, they made both places smarter. But how can that be? How can one group leaving a state and moving to another state make both states smarter? That seems like an impossibility, and yet it’s actually completely possible and is the root of the Will Roger’s Paradox, named as such because of this joke.

Will Rogers

William Penn Adair "Will" Rogers (November 4, 1879 – August 15, 1935) was an American cowboy, vaudeville performer, humorist, newspaper columnist, social commentator, and stage and motion picture actor.

Known as "Oklahoma's Favorite Son", Rogers was born to a prominent Cherokee Nation family in Indian Territory (now part of Oklahoma). He traveled around the world three times, made 71 movies (50 silent films and 21 "talkies"), and wrote more than 4,000 nationally syndicated newspaper columns. By the mid-1930s, the American people adored Rogers. He was the leading political wit of his time, and was the highest paid Hollywood movie star. Rogers died in 1935 with aviator Wiley Post, when their small airplane crashed in northern Alaska.

Rogers's vaudeville rope act led to success in the Ziegfeld Follies, which in turn led to the first of his many movie contracts. His 1920s syndicated newspaper column and his radio appearances increased his visibility and popularity. Rogers crusaded for aviation expansion, and provided Americans with first-hand accounts of his world travels. His earthy anecdotes and folksy style allowed him to poke fun at gangsters, prohibition, politicians, government programs, and a host of other controversial topics in a way that was appreciated by a national audience, with no one offended. His aphorisms, couched in humorous terms, were widely quoted: "I am not a member of an organized political party. I am a Democrat." Another widely quoted Will Rogers comment was "I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts."
