Probably the belief that there (isn't) some kind of omnipotent god interested in guiding our affairs. It's not like I'd ever be able to know. How would I cope? Pretty easily. It'd be comforting. That's a pretty good reason to doubt it, since I'm biased in favor of it.

The thing is, I'm not picking this one because it's the most likely one, but because all of the other "core" beliefs are either completely subjective judgments that can't be "wrong" or are flexible enough that it doesn't really matter.

might impact the data, then we'd only know given those constraints

idk about you but psychologically i never chceckef my ksrma scote but still pay some attention to how an individual comment/submission is perceived. cuz i took the time to write it and it's cool if people like/understand it and it's "important" if they dont (at least important to my rat brains)

as a departure from this mentality, i will not edit the typos

yeah i aint touching this question, eating disorders are a bitch and this is the kind of preoccupation that we gotta let go of

gog?

there's an option to split the updown vote display on Lemmy

whoever wrote this has no idea what those words mean. they could have picked a million things scarier than that, and more confusing. quote some fuckin tax code

none if you like happiness

Yeah, it's really frustrating and quite ironic that pop culture keeps using this obscure scientific reference, that they don't really understand in its intended context, to describe something that really ought be plainly said: that we all have a tendency to overinflate our competence. if anything Dunning-Krueger showed that only the most seasoned experts judge themselves modestly. (and even then we'd likely only find their modesty in that particular area of expertise). it's a commentary on all of us!

But no, people name-drop this research just to dunk on people and feel smugly superior. (and I am glad I agree with the politics of the intellectual in the OP, that means it's okay and I'm a bit more competent too!) ugh. I cringe every time i read someone say Dunning-Krueger.

PS on your first image, whoever failed to put "phd student" at the trough of that curve fucked up

That's an excellent way of explaining it, clinically speaking

I'm not actually suggesting we dog whistle

THIS is key. they choose to take down the threat they're most threatened by. trouble with removing other public figures is that no one is posting gengis khan memes about ceos. and we don't know luigi for anything but his one thing.

that's cool, thanks for sharing, not really relevant to the point I'm making though. I'm just saying stop pretending like you feel otherwise when you post luigi

fuck off, that's not what I meant. I'm saying stop ACTING like you're asking nicely.

Let's not play dumb. Evoking the image of Luigi is in itself a gesture towards violence. That's the point. Why discuss billionaires and show a picture of Luigi instead of Mary Poppins? Because of what Luigi did and what he represents. It's implying a desirable solution.

It's bullshit that Reddit removes this stuff, and it reveals where their loyalties lie, but we're not on Reddit anymore.

Stop acting like a conservative and just say what you mean.

Or maybe act more like a conservative and obscure your viewpoints more so they don't get banned. Let's go Mary Poppins memes.

I actually do appreciate this reminder

shut up nerd

what small country is that? I've never heard of this

well, can we get a plug? i dont see any moderated subs from your user info

this seems like a pretty simple, effective, and believable solution
