[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The investigation into the enigmatic correlation between genetically modified corn cultivation and the prevalence of Google searches for the phrase 'i cant even' has prompted a comprehensive review of existing literature. This review aims to elucidate the contextual landscape and theoretical underpinnings that may shed light on the unexpected convergence of agricultural biotechnology and internet musings.

Smith and Doe (2018) contend that the impact of genetically modified organisms extends beyond agro-economic realms, echoing the sentiments of Jones (2020) who underscores the influence of GMOs on multifaceted societal dynamics. The interconnectedness of agricultural practices and digital phenomena is a relatively unexplored area, as highlighted by the works of Green (2017) and Fields (2019), both of whom proffer insights into the expansive implications of technological advancements in the realm of food production.

Drawing upon perspectives from non-fiction works such as "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan and "GMO Sapiens: The Life-Changing Science of Designer Babies" by Paul Knoepfler, we are propelled into a realm where the boundaries between biological alterations and linguistic expressions blur in unforeseen ways.

Further delving into fiction works that may tangentially reverberate with the themes at hand, the dystopian musings of Margaret Atwood's "Oryx and Crake" and the speculative landscapes of Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go" beckon us towards contemplation of the unforeseen consequences of genetic manipulation, albeit within different contexts.

Expanding the scope of this literature review to delve into unconventional sources, we examined a plethora of unrelated materials, ranging from poetry collections to grocery store receipts, in a speculative attempt to unravel the enigma at hand. The quixotic pursuit of the truth behind this unlikely correlation led us down whimsical paths, unveiling a trove of delightful digressions and seemingly random revelations.

In amalgamating these disparate voices and divergent perspectives, we embark on a multidimensional exploration, intertwining the rigors of scholarly inquiry with a whimsical embrace of the unforeseen. Through this kaleidoscopic lens, we invite the reader to suspend disbelief and join us on an expedition that traverses the terrain of conventionality and absurdity alike.

As we delve into the implications of our findings, one cannot help but pause and reflect on the implications of this seemingly whimsical convergence.

Drawing upon the eclectic literature review, our results lend empirical support to the quixotic musings of non-fiction works such as "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and "GMO Sapiens: The Life-Changing Science of Designer Babies." The unforeseen resonance between agricultural biotechnology and digital discourse beckons us to reconsider the interplay between genetic modifications and linguistic expressions, challenging conventional boundaries in unforeseen ways. Furthermore, the speculative landscapes of fiction works like Margaret Atwood's "Oryx and Crake" and Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go" reverberate with the unforeseen consequences of genetic manipulation, triggering a whimsical pondering of the multidimensional implications of our findings.

The unexpected correlation coefficient of 0.8659659 and the striking statistical significance mirrored the ponderings of our unconventional literature review, affirming that the convergence of genetically modified corn and online exasperation is not a mere happenstance but a curious confluence with tangible empirical support. It is as if the corn, in its genetically altered state, has cast an irresistible spell on internet users, inciting collective expressions of exasperation that manifest in the form of 'i cant even' queries. Alternatively, one may conjecture that the exasperation arising from the human existential plight finds solace in the digital domain, intertwining with the prevalence of GMOs in an unanticipated dance of correlation.

The results, while robust, also evoke a sense of tantalizing perplexity and underscore the capricious capers of unexpected correlations that lie hidden within the intricate fabric of our data. Our findings thus serve as a poignant reminder that, in the realm of academic inquiry, the rigors of scholarly investigation must be interwoven with a keen openness to the whimsical and the unforeseen.

Genetically Modified Corn's Gravitational Grip on Google Search Queries: A Correlative Conundrum

[[ABSTRACT]]
The perplexing pursuit of understanding the impact of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) extends beyond the purview of agricultural yields and into the unpredictable recesses of online search behavior. This study delves into the intertwining realms of GMO usage in corn cultivation within the heartland of Illinois and the seemingly unrelated, yet curiously synchronous, prevalence of Google searches for the phrase 'i cant even'. Utilizing a comprehensive dataset from the USDA and Google Trends, our research team scrutinized the temporal span from 2004 to 2023, uncovering a startling correlation coefficient of 0.8659659 and a statistically significant p-value of less than 0.01. The implication of this unexpected linkage may prompt researchers and casual observers alike to ponder: is there a magnetic pull between the genetic alterations in corn and the exasperated musings of internet users, or is this merely an amusing happenstance? Our findings invite further investigation into the enigmatic dynamics of GMO reach and the capricious capers of internet dialogue.

[[CONCLUSION]]

The confluence of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and Google search behavior has culminated in an enigmatic symphony of statistical significance. Our findings have not only revealed a substantial correlation between the prevalence of GMO corn in Illinois and the frequency of 'i cant even' searches but have also thrust open the proverbial Pandora's box of curiosity. This unanticipated linkage has left us pondering the interconnectedness of seemingly unrelated realms, prompting contemplation of the magnetic charms of GMOs or the collective sigh of digital exasperation. While our study sheds light on this unforeseen correlation, it also veers into the realm of wonder and whimsy, inviting contemplation of the capricious capers of correlation.

The paradigm-shifting correlation coefficient and statistically significant p-value underscore the deeply-rooted entanglement between the genetic makeup of corn and the exasperated musings of internet users. The r-squared value offers a tantalizing glimpse into the explanatory power of GMO prevalence over digital dejection, leaving us to speculate whether this revelation may elevate GMO research to a whimsical wonderland of unexpected correlations.

In closing, our investigation prompts researchers to keep an open mind and a watchful eye for the unexpected, and perhaps the delightfully puzzling, when navigating the quantitative quagmires of research. This study, while a mere glimpse into the mysterious realms of GMOs and Google queries, asserts that further inquiry in this domain may be as futile as searching for a kernel of corn in a haystack. As such, we assert that, in the words of Google searcher and philosopher extraordinaire, "I cant even," but we do recognize the imperative of leaving this conundrum to rest.

Correlation r = 0.8659659 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r2 = 0.7498970 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 75% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'i cant even') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., GMO use in corn grown in Illinois) over the 20 years from 2004 through 2023.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.07E-7. 0.0000008069648870867979000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.87 in 8.07E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,239,211 random variables You don't actually need 1 million variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 19 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 19 because we have two variables measured over a period of 20 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.69, 0.95 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!


All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
  2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
    no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
  3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
    p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
