Keep in mind in posting anything to you re anything generally evidenced as fact of the time i am fully aware of your situation
How facts backfire ..
Recently, a few political scientists have begun to discover a human tendency deeply discouraging to anyone with faith in the power of information. It’s this: Facts don’t necessarily have the power to change our minds. In fact, quite the opposite. In a series of studies in 2005 and 2006, researchers at the University of Michigan found that when misinformed people, particularly political partisans, were exposed to corrected facts in news stories, they rarely changed their minds. In fact, they often became even more strongly set in their beliefs. Facts, they found, were not curing misinformation. Like an underpowered antibiotic, facts could actually make misinformation even stronger.
This bodes ill for a democracy, because most voters — the people making decisions about how the country runs — aren’t blank slates. They already have beliefs, and a set of facts lodged in their minds. The problem is that sometimes the things they think they know are objectively, provably false. And in the presence of the correct information, such people react very, very differently than the merely uninformed. Instead of changing their minds to reflect the correct information, they can entrench themselves even deeper.
“The general idea is that it’s absolutely threatening to admit you’re wrong,” says political scientist Brendan Nyhan, the lead researcher on the Michigan study. The phenomenon — known as “backfire” — is “a natural defense mechanism to avoid that cognitive dissonance.” .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=52247903
So, it seems, in fear and distaste of mental conflict, voters as you in a deeply rooted craving for security are attracted naturally to those who offer some sense of security in certainty. That's what you and others get from God's guidance as per Ben Carson. That's what you get as per Donald Trump's personification of the so-called alpha male.
conix - Kevin Cowtan Debunks Christopher Booker's Temperature Conspiracy Theory
Posted on 27 January 2015 by Kevin C, dana1981
In The Telegraph, Christopher Booker accused climate scientists .. https://andthentheresphysics.wordpress.com/2015/01/25/puerto-casado/ .. of falsifying the global surface temperature data, claiming trends have been "falsified" through a "wholesale corruption of proper science." Booker's argument focuses on adjustments made to raw data from temperature stations in Paraguay. In the video below, Kevin Cowtan examines the data and explains why the adjustments in question are clearly justified and necessary, revealing the baselessness of Booker's conspiracy theory.
The video features a prototype tool for investigating the global temperature record. This tool will be made available with the upcoming MOOC, Making Sense of Climate Science Denial .. http://gci.uq.edu.au/mooc , where we will interactively debunk myths regarding surface temperature records.
