Matt Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) In a series of studies, a group of PhDs are analyzing societal issues from 2020 and plotting peoples' perceptions based on their political affiliation and education. It's no surprise that: There is actually an inverse relationship between how "educated" one is and how "informed" they are. Liberals WAAAAY overstate the pervasiveness of incidents which fit their chosen narrative that the cops and America writ large are racist. Also no surprise, but to a lesser degree, conservatives understate. https://www.skeptic.com/research-center/reports/Research-Report-CUPES-007.pdf This is because, for some unexplained reason, more "educated" people trust more heavily in mainstream news than those who are more conservative. https://www.skeptic.com/research-center/reports/Research-Report-CUPES-008.pdf Then of course there's this analysis, which Bill Maher even discussed on a recent episode of his show, which shows conservatives were far more likely to get the correct answers when asked about how dangerous COVID actually is. https://www.brookings.edu/research/how-misinformation-is-distorting-covid-policies-and-behaviors/ So the next time some know-it-all liberal tells you to "follow the data," tell them to shove it up their asses. Their righteousness comes from a condescending certainty about bullshit. Edited April 20, 2021 by Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) I think you're missing my point... Conservatives have more healthy skepticism. Liberals believe more of what the media feeds them. Follow the first two links and it'll be more clear.

Matt Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 I just thought it was really interesting, but not completely surprising that the level of ones education is a predictor of how likely one is to swallow and spew bullshit. Of course, the inverse isn't true, otherwise MC would probably be a triple PhD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionfigureJoe Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Who’s more informed? Liberals say that they are and GOP’ers say that they are. Neither typically know shit. Only know only what their “news network” feeds them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their righteousness comes from a condescending certainty about bullshit. I liked the Bill Maher speech on COVID until the part he claimed he wants his "healthcare without politics." He's a long time proponent of UHC. Sorry Bill but if the govt runs healthcare politics is all fucking over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted April 20, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 20, 2021 It's not just what's "believed" its what and who is pushing the false information. Look no further than the BS statistics on women earning less than men. It virtually goes away when looking at job/career specific statistics instead of just looking at earnings by sex. The left pushes this BS narrative and their sheeple just eat it up and regurgitate it on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you take into consideration the amount of time that women take off compared to men for child birth etc, it really turns into a false narrative. Just like the new narrative about Asian Hate crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
