132. Did you go to college?
Mon May 18, 2026, 12:56 AM
Monday

If you’re going to make a claim like what you did, it’s incumbent on you to provide the work you are citing. Here is what you said:

36. Documented as complete BS.

Who documented it?

You should have been taught in college (and it’s even taught in high school these days) that one mitigates the all inclusive, such as “complete.”

Do you even understand what such a study would entail?

You tripped yourself up with this wording.

Furthermore, there are studies that provide an understanding of such phenomena. Radin is a starting point for such work.

It goes without saying that you can’t hide behind a subjective judgment on your part to qualify what you have to do when questioned on your source/claim. Obviously, though, it has to be said because you have demonstrated you don’t know the basics of argumentation.
