You’re not making me feel isolated, rejected, guilty, or generally bad.
You’re feeding into the confirmation bias I already have about how the opposition thinks, which only serves to affirm the choice I made.
- almostgotcaught 2y agoYes the opposition thinks evil is evil. The opposition also thinks water is wet. Check back here tomorrow for more obvious things rational people think.
- frumplestlatz 2y agoThe opposition reductively believes this is an existential battle between “good and evil”, they’re the “good”, and that’s a position from which one can justify almost anything to eradicate “evil”.
- almostgotcaught 2y agoHow many Supreme Court rulings does it take for a Trump supporter to admit the Trump administration is unjust? The world may never know.
- frumplestlatz 2y agoYou can always know, if you want to, by actually engaging in constructive dialog. Which probably isn’t going to happen in this thread because it’s ostensibly about a raspberry pi LiDAR scanner, and thus neither really the time nor place.
- KennyBlanken 2y agoThe MAGA crowd is not even remotely interested in 'constructive dialog' and is so far down the hole of drinking the kool-aide, constructive dialog with them will likely never be possible. You cannot have constructive dialog about astronomy with someone who thinks the sky is made of green and purple polkadots because that's what someone told them, and dismiss all evidence to the contrary as a massive conspiracy. They don't even believe in democracy or constitutional rights - at least, for anyone but them.
- frumplestlatz 2y agoI’m interested in constructive dialog, and I believe in democracy and constitutional rights. However, this is a thread about a neat LiDAR scanner.
- almostgotcaught 2y agoIt's funny - first you call me reductive but now it's all "I'm staying out of this one". Interesting how that goes.
- CamperBob2 2y agoWhich many people could have afforded to build a few weeks ago, but now can't.
- thomasmg 2y agoWell, Trump is the one that almost always frames things in very binary way. If someone contradicts him, it is "fake news". His opposition is typically much less so, and much more rational and thoughtful. Even many in the opposition agrees with many of his goals (control immigration, protect American industries, shrink the government).
- InsideOutSanta 2y ago>You’re feeding into the confirmation bias I already have about how the opposition thinks It's wild that you acknowledge your cognitive bias and then blame others for it instead of working on it. If I wrote something like that, I hope I would have the wherewithal to notice that something is seriously wrong with my thinking.
- frumplestlatz 2y agoWe all exhibit cognitive bias. I’m illustrating how the original behavior feeds confirmation bias instead of establishing a basis for constructive dialog.
