I think it will be a lot longer than that if Trump gets elected. Or anyone else willing to gut and dismantle most of our institutions.

Can't run for president if you're not born in the US.

That's probably because he is anything but leftist.

In other words, shortcuts and biases really just trade accuracy for speed.

Those many cognitive biases we succumb to may be great for scenarios faced by hominids a hundred thousand years ago or more. But for sussing out truth and evaluating evidence, they're straight caca.

Let's ask

More than just research is needed and that's what many miss. One must be able to reliably evaluate the quality of evidence to sort fact from baloney. Doing so requires critical thinking, the ability to be able to poke holes in theories regardless of whether you like them or not, and the willingness to be wrong and, above all else, the mental flexibility to update your knowledge when proven so. Not everyone is able to do that.

I am used to being wrong a lot so it comes naturally lol.

Also opinion 👆

I think they're only prohibiting same-sex romantic behavior, so, no, the rules don't apply equally.

Yup

I am never getting lost in my own neighborhood again!! (Me irl)

Well, may also require a minimum of a couple of brain cells to rub together.
