The science of opinion ...


Some may find this interesting (it is).

Some may find this threatening (it isn't, it is science).

Some may read it and use it to help them understand the dynamics of internet forums.

I give this a solid 4.3/10. It it most definitely not your best work.


geoffkait18,131 posts11-09-2019 5:00pmMy bad. I stopped reading your posts several days ago. And I decided after giving it about two seconds of thought not to go back and read your rebuttal of my take-down. I’m sure it’s FOS, though wordy. Just like the “scientific” article. But thanks for thinking of me anyway.

Nope, someone did pretty much call me a communist. Communist, Nazi, it is a common refrain of the intellectually lazy and weak from those at the farther ends of each political spectrum and a term thrown around when they are unable to address arguments so they lazily attempt to dog-pile their followers and adherents.

It is exactly the same as those in audio who use terms such as subjectivist and objectivist as an attempted weapon, usually followed by some other weak and wrong statement. They do it to avoid addressing arguments and to dog-pile.

Science says that people who swear more are more honest and on average are smarter. Look at geoff, he never swears.
