Re #39

Human has a tendency to cover up part of their low-level behavior with generous dose of mysticism. This kind of low-level mechanism powerfully constrains what is called "rational choice." It is even happening in economics. In the case above, they established a tangible mechanism.

i must smell good because i have no shortage of women who want my credit cards!

What are you doing with your credit cards in your armpit?

[Graymatter]

Oh, well, if economists have observed it, it must be so! I guess I'm in that part of the cycle where everything smells like BS.
In another week I'll have keener grasp of it and call it not BS but argumentum ad verecundiam.

Wonder what the grant for this was worth? Remember, when they do these, they are looking for a particular result. It's built into the system of setup, questioning and relationships.

Bet if you reran the test with exactly the same people, the results would be different. Unfortunately, it can't be done, because a prejudice has already occurred.

I'd classify this as WORTHLESS, STUPID RESEARCH.

I guess work on the "Scenternet" will have to begin soon.

Oh my.
