- xlnt 18y agoSince you believe you are irrational and make decisions based on bias, and Bayesian anti-science positions forgive you for this, whereas I do not (for example, science says the source of an idea is irrelevant, so you are wrong to be concerned with whether the source is a stranger), might it be that you only believe these anti-science ideas because of bias? They offer you comfort, and you revealed earlier that you do think about ideas in terms of which are more comfortable.
