- mock-possum 3y agoYeah because speaking from experience, unsupervised access to porn was great for me. This sort of thing is ripe for confirmation bias.
- synetic 3y agoNo, it should not. But it does provide one with a basis, a starting point, for how to first approach and view a given topic. We all use our experiences to form mental models for now things work. So while anecdotal evidence should not drive policy it should drive which policies one gains an interest in. Also, responding with anecdotal evidence should not drive policy isn’t really helpful without some sort of refutation of the evidence.
