Shane is in a mental prison still

No

the answer is there is no difference

i disagree

A mountain of evidence and confirmation bias feel the exact same way

facts have no feelings

there facts

When you learn persuasion this is one of the first things you learn

The problem with being a "fact based" person is that you never know the facts

That's just confirmation bias

there's methodology and statistics to acquire accurate information

Also, people disagree about what the facts are

and things that are repeated empirically

across studies

are more likely to be true

Which is why facts will never change anyones mind

Nope.

you would think that's true, but it's not

simply because anyone can make a study say anything, and even if you encounter a study that violates your worldview....thats when cognitive dissonance kicks in

well if you took a stats course....

sounds likes thats your confirmation bias brss

It certainly might be!

Now you're catching on

this shit sounds gay

^thats cognitive dissonance

classic tell

if you encounter a study that violates your worldview you should assess it

It normally is triggered when you encounter a worldview that violates your own

and see if it uses proper methodology

and is repeatable

(if applicable)

And how do you know the information you're getting is accurate?

by what I just said

are you this retared

*retarded

we have methodology

repeatable studies

Unless you are an expert in the field....you can't use a study for anything because you don't have the context to be able to know whats going on

This isn't about the scientific method

are you just trying to make a post structuralism argument

This about things that matter to your day to day
