- kelseyfrog 2y ago> Alcott and colleagues (2020) randomly assigned 2743 adults. I stopped there. We're talking specifically about teenage depression and the cited study is adults. If Haidt wants us to take results from one subgroup and apply it to another, he has to provide evidence. That's how this process works.

- kelseyfrog 2y agoI'm much more interested in the rhetorical device, "I stopped reading at X and couldn't take anything after that seriously." It looks like I have some more learning to do before employing it successfully.

- kranke155 2y agohow did I project? Where do you see me doing the same thing?
