I just tried to look up what is an actuary. The first two results were the same forum thread from a forum for actuaries, where the actuaries were complaining that people don't know what actuaries are. The third result was a page of jokes about actuaries. https://actuarialjokes.com/

I'm no closer to understanding.

edit: I took the swear words out of my query and got a better answer.

"a person who compiles and analyzes statistics and uses them to calculate insurance risks and premiums."
