SERIOUS QUESTION: How do you convince yourself you know more about the world than scientists?
@NathanMackBrown Seriously, how do you ignore many preeminent scientists, the fact that coercion and censorship of these scientist is everywhere, and still think you know anything about the world?
@NathanMackBrown Actually, the science says we all know about the same amount about the world, but the world is much bigger in information than most people can possibly imagine -- our brain computation works that way. medium.com/liecatcher/htt…
@NathanMackBrown I have read that there is a particular difference between Dems and Republicans: Dems tend to believe what they read by "experts" while Repubs tend to believe what they hear from trusted associates regardless of whether there is any support for their opinions.
@NathanMackBrown when findings fail to match lived experience, are presented in terms that aren’t coherent and/or consistent, when mistakes can’t be admitted, and dissenters are silenced/bullied v debated on merit the ‘how’ one presents a case is more important than the dets
@NathanMackBrown It’s a common problem among people who worship Trump.
@NathanMackBrown You believe what your momma's been telling you your whole life.
