Ah the glorious cognitive biases we have. I believe you're referencing the Backfire Effect coupled with cognitive dissonance of your views being a part of your identity. Plus a generous helping of the overarching Confirmation Bias[1].

Arguably also very liberal biased (speaking as a liberal-leaning individual). Much of this theory is based on The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander which first popularized the idea of how we

Dave Ramsey is extremely anti-debt. With the exception of buying your house. But then only if you 20% down and 15-yr mortgage. And, let's face it, for the demographic he is targeting that's great advice. Most got into their situat

If you're good at the grill, there's no reason to use a sous vide. Honestly, with very few exceptions, you can do everything the sous vide can do faster using traditional methods. However, I personally like to pre-cook a bunch of

I've heard of people using it for massive batch jobs and freezing the now-sealed contents. Like gallons of chili. Or 10+lbs of chicken and seafood. Now prepped and portioned and saveable for the freezer. Personally I use it for more ni

Because Pharma pays more than people? All snark aside, traditional Republicans are more in favor of societal stability. And this is achieved, in their mind, via social institutions and a thriving economy. Thus, their values that align with

Michael Breus has a theory that different individuals tend to sleep/wake at different points in the day naturally. So perhaps your natural rhythm is very late night bedtime and late morning wake time? Does make life in the standard 8-5
