So they did a study on "gut feelings"... turns out you're dumb,.

people using gut feelings over logic is generally universally human. Most people react to things emotionally instead, including you and many others here when it comes to partisan politics. One should be able to see things from both perspectives if you want to actually use logic instead.

Its the ability to set aside "gut feels" to uselogic and accept facts.. Thats the key here.

Think about this for a moment.. people on the right for example refuse to believe in global warming being affected by man. They don't disagree based on scientific proof but rather political affilation.

Meanwhile to believe what they believe would require you to believe that 99.9% of all scientists of this planet and pretty much every govt in the world is in on a big scam.. but of course they the right wingers are the ones who really know whats up..

Its like this with everything as welll.. its all fake news that Russia trying to attack our election process.. Its all fake news that a guy with a history of scamming people did anything wrong. Benghazi was a cover up.. cheese pizza was child porn and Hillary had a sex dungon.. The list of insanity could go on and on..

I mean for fucks sake the right wing has gone fucking insane.. I mean fuck the left has some problems, but the right wing is absolutely bat shit crazy.. Their lack of ability to use logic and common sense is driving them off a cliff like a bunch of blind sheep.

You can talk yourself into anything but it does not change the facts surrounding that issue.

A low quality and fundamentally flawed study which assumes conspiracies are all wrong, so they conclude that anyone who believes in conspiracies is dumb because they are 'wrong'.

I've researched gut instinct before, logic comes up better for simple decisions, while gut instinct has superior outcomes for complex. Gut feelings are tools for an uncertain world. They are not a sixth sense or God’s voice. They are based on lots of experience, an unconscious form of intelligence.

The trouble with going with your gut is that your gut is usually full of shit.

It separates the good stuff from the shit

Better see a doctor I think yours is broken..

I always trust my gut feelings when it comes to meeting new people. If my spidy-senses tells me something is off, I will usually back away.

Too bad you can not test how it works out, maybe all people you backed away from were quality ones. So how do you know if your "radar" is working correctly here?

Interesting theory but my cousin wrote that study and he said he was stoned out of his mind and probably was wrong. Ugh I hate when that happens.

I remember when the OP and those of like mind had a "gut feeling" that Hilary was going to win the election by a landslide.

Huh. Whaddya know?

There is generally a "study" to support every conclusion. When it is reviewed and bolstered by others I'll take a look at it.

You keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better about not actually knowing the knowable...or denying it.

There were a lot of "gut feelings" involved in our election obviously. Not only do Trump supporters go with their gut, they also usually have a big gut. And sometimes a big gunt.
