more bad news: bias and intelligence appear to be correlated; the smarter you are, the worse it is

Where you been, WH?
went camping. when I got back, for some reason my ST obsession got replaced by a bass guitar obsession.
it's been a nice switch.
Nice! What's yer axe?
cheap Kramer bass (sounds great.) it's a hand me down from my little brother, who's the real musician in the family.
Rock on, bruddah.
will do. been having fun. also, getting a little better.
there was no good reason for me remaining stuck at terrible, and anyway, I think it'll be a nice hobby to have while I slide gracelessly, as we all eventually must, into middle age and demi-decrepitude.
Understandable.
Too many rude and arrogant people here like me.
You're Black?
only on the inside
Bump. It is the day which spawned a movement that ignores facts, so this should be at the forefront of people's heads when Cosmored starts bumping *his* threads.

But instead, it appears that misinformed people often have some of the strongest political opinions. A striking recent example was a study done in the year 2000, led by James Kuklinski of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He led an influential experiment in which more than 1,000 Illinois residents were asked questions about welfare — the percentage of the federal budget spent on welfare, the number of people enrolled in the program, the percentage of enrollees who are black, and the average payout. More than half indicated that they were confident that their answers were correct — but in fact only 3 percent of the people got more than half of the questions right. Perhaps more disturbingly, the ones who were the most confident they were right were by and large the ones who knew the least about the topic. (Most of these participants expressed views that suggested a strong antiwelfare bias.)
bump.
