thefeelofavideogame Follow In the current paper we describe how the tribal nature of the human mind leads people to value party dogma over truth... When political content was added to the same analytical problem- comparing crime data in cities that banned handguns against cities that did not - math skills no longer predicted how well people solved the problem. Instead, liberals were good at solving the problem when it proved that gun control reduced crime, and conservatives were good at solving the problem when it proved the opposite. In short, people with high numeracy skills were unable to reason analytically when the correct answer collided with their political beliefs. This is consistent with research showing that people who score high on various indicators of information processing, such as political sophistication, science literacy, numeracy abilities, and cognitive reflection, are the most likely to express beliefs congruent with those of their party. Partisan identity has been shown to affect memory. People are more likely to incorrectly remember falsehoods that support their partisan identity: Democrats were more likely than Republicans to incorrectly remember G.W. Bush on vacation during the Katrina hurricane, and Republicans were more likely than Democrats to falsely remember seeing Barack Obama shaking hands with the President of Iran.. Going one step further, there is evidence that political affiliations may even shape the way we see the world. In line with work demonstrating that social identities alter visual processing, a study showed that party affiliation shaped people's perceptions after watching the video of a political protest, in other words an identity-relevant event. When participants thought that the video depicted liberally minded protesters (i.e., opposing military recruitment on campus), Republicans were more in favor of police intervention than Democrats, whereas the opposite emerged when participants thought the video showed a conservative protest (i.e., opposing an abortion clinic) A new study proves that The Discourse literally makes you stupider which really explains all social media

You, a centralist: Fighting in political discourse makes you feel the need to pick a side and stick to it, and will collectively cherry pick things for your own side while ignoring facts that support the other side's beliefs.

Me, an intellectual: I've lived in a house that constantly told me that Obama was the literal Anti-Christ for 8 years at every family get together, and now am living in a society where Trump is Hitler 2.0: Moron edition. I just want peace and quiet, let me make my fucking memes.
