None of the people who proclaim they do their own research do their own research. Yes, they use Google. Yes, they might read the conclusions to other people’s research. But not a single person uses the scientific method to determine whether their hypothesis is correct. So whenever someone says that they are doing their own research, I’ll just assume they are trying to confirm their own biases and beliefs, while trying to convince others they’re skeptical and unbiased.
- bronlund 1y agoI see where you are coming from, but reading other peoples research is also research. And what you say about bias, is most likely true for a lot of academic research as well. And a lot of people actually do their own research. I once tried to find the article which explains how CO2 is the cause of global warming. I read through all the IPCC reports, I read through all the referenced articles, and I read through all the referenced articles in all the references before giving up. One would think that such an important article would be easy to find, but as far as I know, it does not exist.
