- kaffekaka 2y agoThe article does not claim this nor support the claim. It merely says that loneliness is associated with being "weird". No causality.
- Oarch 2y agoIt's possible to reverse this and infer the more mainstream your thoughts of these celebrities, the more popular you are / will be.
- darkerside 2y agoWell, exactly. Parents poster is pointing out that the cause is ambiguous. Actually, technically, they are attributing causality to the opposite direction, but in practice, I'd say it gets the point across.
- viciousvoxel 2y agoMy intuition is that it goes both ways and it's a feedback loop/downward spiral.
- wigglyartichoke 2y agoYes, a social feedback loop, but the internal feedback loop is what causes the downward spiral
- kaffekaka 2y agoIndeed, but the article does not mention causality at all.
