- leohutson 13y agoIf nerds experience a dissidence between their own judgements and reality, we tend to distort reality to conform to our worldview rather than the other way around. That's why we tend to get hard when we are presented with studies that are cherry picked to cater to our demographics values.
- wnernwkerlmwe 13y agoYou may "get hard" over confirmation bias, but a lot of us "nerds" are scientifically trained and actually do a pretty good job of interpreting reality. Sure, no-one is perfect, but "nerds" tend to be better than other "demographics".
