Complete Transcript:*Guitar Riff*MAKO: Warning. This show contains adult themes and language, including grown adults failing 7th grade biology.SQEAKY: Dysevidentia is an inability to reliably process evidence and this is a podcast all about it.MAKO: This episode was released on July 21st, 2021, and we are discussing dysevidentia because it is clear millions of creationists are suffering from it.SQEAKY: I am Sqeaky.MAKO: And I am Mako.SQEAKY: We discuss logic and evidence because there is insufficient selective pressure against creationists.MAKO: You can support us by becoming a patron at patreon.com/dysevidentia.SQEAKY: If you spent all of your money on an expedition to find Noah's Ark, you can still like, subscribe, and leave a review to help us out.MAKO: If you have a paper you have written or a small business to plug let us know. The small business of the show is 2RealVR. They are a small game developer out of Alberta, Canada. Their new game, VRAstroSmash, is on Steam with direct links in the show notes.SQEAKY: Go to Steam and search for "VRAstroSmash" if you want to fly around in space and shoot stuff.SOURCE [1:01]: Website - https://www.2realvr.ca/SOURCE [1:01]: VRAstroSmash - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1675170/VRAstroSmash/SOURCE [1:01]: 2RealVR on Steam - https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40765532MAKO: Today we are going to discuss our interview with the rock doctor, and to debunk a little bit of creationism.SQEAKY: But first, I'm going on a rant.This show contains adult themes and language including "im"-MAKO: "Im"?SQEAKY: Y'know, we spent all that time proofreading, we left that in there.*Guitar Riff*SQEAKY RANTING: On July 8th, I was in the hardware store. I was buying some material to make a ramp for my dog to climb into bed easier. Shasta is getting old, but still likes to lay on me and my SO's feet, even when it hurts her to jump into the bed. While we were discussing screw prices, another shopper, a kindly-looking older man in a fisherman's hat, sparked a conversation.I don't recall exactly how. Perhaps his claims that gang violence, or, I am quoting, "Illegals driving up the prices" was the reason screws were more expensive. Nevermind that this was the store charging more than the one down the street and had knowledable employees. No, it had to be so nefarious. Some other to fear. Over the course of a brief conversation, he brought up a picture of George Soros, without prompting. He claimed Sweden was a cesspool of crime, that the US has the best healthcare. He claimed no country other than the United States had opportunity to start businesses or speak freely. Let's mostly ignore how anti-semetic conspiracies are generally baseless. And Soros is a billionaire who certainty commited real crimes, so we don't need to concoct fake ones. Let us also gloss over how we have whole episodes debunking some of his talking points. To pin that real quick, episode 5 was mostly about American gun crime. Episode 8 was about how shitty it is to be a worker in America, and that Episode 11 was about how we ranked in the 40's among developed countries for healthcare and really should be doing better. Links for these in the show notes. Let's slide pass how nearly every country has freedom of speech, and that we rank 44th in the "Reporters without Borders" freedom index. So there are at least 43 countries that do freedom of speech better than America. This person was conversant, building something, planning, aware, and able to use a smartphone effectively. Despite having access to all of this cognitive power, and instant access to information, they still insisted on the nonsense I stated previously. And, much racism I won't go into further about middle easterners. But also, this next part. They insisted American slavery wasn't bad. They insisted slaves weren't whipped or abused. They claimed Benjamin Franklin was a slave, and they claimed to have personally been a slave as well. Slavery, particularly American chattel slavery, was abominable. Even the pathologically neutral Wikipedia describes it as "generally brutal". I found no evidence Ben Franklin ever spent any time as even a servant, let alone a slave, and this person was certainly never a slave and likely confused working any job with slavery, or just lied to my face.For whatever reason, this old, white man with money to spare at the expensive hardware store, had seen it important to put himself on the same level as chattel slaves. I doubt this person was lying about everything. But even if he was lying to me about the most extreme views, so many of what remains are common talking points that I would be hardpressed to draw the line between his lies and his mistaken beliefs. I know that many have come around to the idea of dysevidentia as a topic and real deficiency in their peers' cognitive function. But many still think that there are some magic words to convince some of these people, or that these people don't belief this stuff. This person is real, and he is one of millions of people with ideas that don't map onto reality, and is holding those ideas in spite of strong evidence that they are likely aware of. Simply by vurtue meeting this guy at large, I can never be the person to change his mind. Only a deep emotional connection will get this person to even start accepting evidence. If he has no one close, and never befriends someone closely, there may never be someone to help him. This is why we all need to learn. We all have someone close to us. We can't really change anyone elses' mind unless they want to change it. We need to have millions of conversations to help the 40% of this country that disbelieves evolution. The 15% accepting that the election was rigged because Q said so. And the scattered millions who think the earth is flat, and so on for every cognitive failing we have. The alternative is what we have been doing and letting this harmful bullshit spread.*Guitar Riff*MAKO: We had a few cases where our recording programs just crashed immediately when we hit the record button.SQEAKY: Yeah, and then we'd turn and face each other and have a conversation and be like "Ah crap." MAKO: Just waste twenty minutes of conversation.SQEAKY: Today we have a special guest, Doctor Sean Hodges. He studied uh... general geology at Oxford University, uh... studied vulkanism and geochemistry for his PhD. He goes by "Rock Doctor", and he's worked in the oil company for a very long time and very qualified to answer a lot of our questions. Is there anything else you'd like me to put in there before we dive into questions, Dr. Sean?ROCK DOCTOR: Nope, sounds very impressive, thank you.*Mako laughs lightly*SQEAKY: I think you have more education than me and Mako added together.MAKO: Uh, yes.ROCK DOCTOR: Education doesn't count for very much. What do you do with it?MAKO: Smart things, presumably.ROCK DOCTOR: Well Ill just knock people on their podcast. SQEAKY: We're trying, we're trying. A lot of people are telling us this but not the people who need to be hearing it.ROCK DOCTOR: Well you always need a geoscientist. We're the fundamental science. We sit underneath the floor of your house wherever you are.SQEAKY: Sounds foundational. *Sqeaky laughs*SQEAKY: Sorry, that was terrible.*Rock Doctor chuckles*SQEAKY: Okay, so we brought you on to address a couple uh... common sets of talking points. In America, it turns out that about 50% of people are creationists, as in they think the earth is some thousands o...
Nicehash Sponsor: https://www.nicehash.com/?refby=eda23ada-5de2-4374-8816-3631679dbf9eThe Full Rant Text [1:38] - I don't have health insurance. I have worked for about 20 years, most of that time contracting in software development, and for maybe 4 of those years I had health insurance.The state of Nebraska, where this podcast is based, held a vote in the last election and decided to increase healthcare access to people in need but without financial means.I actually cannot use this, I made too much money last year. I guess that people never get sick the year after they leave a job.Last time I checked for health insurance options I could pay nearly $1,000 per month after wading through tons of options without real knowledge of what differentiates them. The real important part of insurance is how badly they try to fuck you when you get sick. All the websites talked about deductibles and copays which are important but intractable for most people on the best of days, and irrelevant with regard to that “how much they fuck you question”. It isn't like they list how times you need to ask for a manager before accepting your claim that clearly fits inside all the rules.I am trying to kick off my own business. Mostly, I write software, this podcast is a side project.Growing up everyone told me this was the land of opportunity. It seems like every rags to riches story had someone starting a business.I guess that mostly counts for healthy people who can skip on health insurance. It certainly doesn't seem to apply to people who are starting their own business on savings. I guess it works for people who are employed by a large company and happen to be fortunate enough to not be systematically shorted hours. Because those people aren't full time and don't have to be given health insurance. Like my buddy who quit his shit job and inspired this episode and this rant.This country also seems to work out well for people with a small loan of a million dollars from their family.Fuck, that makes it sound like this isn't the land of opportunity my childhood promised. At least we are the home of the free and the brave. Oh wait, we have 2.2 million people in prison making America the country with both the most prisoners by count and the highest rate of incarceration. That is before counting the prisons in territories like Guam and Puerto Rico, and doesn't include juvenile facilities. Well there goes another of my childhood promises that America wasn't some sort of dystopian prison state.Well I am glad America is the home of the brave, at least until I learn some new horrifying fact.Sadly, I recorded this on July 4th. So, I want to say something positive before I jump deeper into the morass that is our shithole healthcare system.We still get to participate in our government. These problems I listed aren't permanent and are fixable. Because there is an expectation of self-sufficiency in our country it does mean that it isn't something everyone can do, but many can participate. If you can participate in the government or political process at any level do so. Impact the decisions you can and don't give up. The parties always need volunteers, and there people needed for a variety of volunteer roles, including election poll workers.At a minimum vote, this isn't an election year and after the last administration we are all a little bit exhausted. But do a google and figure out when your next election is. Make sure you are registered to vote. Figure out when your next ballot will be decided and published and read it weeks before the election and google every option. I did this last election and I was one of the votes expanding healthcare in Nebraska. I might not be covered personally but I do know two people who have healthcare now and did n't before, so we can have a positive impact even when it is imperfect and slow.https://ballotpedia.org/Nebraska_Initiative_427,_Medicaid_Expansion_Initiative_(2018)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_StatesHeadLines and SourcesA Few Definitions [5:20]Some definitions - https://www.wpshealth.com/resources/customer-resources/health-insurance-terminology.shtmlCopay - what you pay the doctor when you get serviceDeductible - How much you pay before insurance starts payingCoinsurance % - how much you pay after you have paid the deductiblePremium - What you pay every month.Myths [10:08]“Capitalism will produce the cheapest solution to healthcare.” [11:00]https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/what-drives-health-spending-in-the-u-s-compared-to-other-countries/https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-spending-u-s-compare-countries/“America has the best healthcare system in the world.” [16:49]https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/quality-u-s-healthcare-system-compare-countries/“People come to the US for healthcare!” [25:15]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_tourismhttps://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/14/rand-paul-canada-surgery-neighbor-attack-1099485John Oliver on M4Ahttps://youtu.be/7Z2XRg3dy9k?t=441https://www.medicaltourism.com/“Those socialist countries all have long wait times” [30:21]The truth about waiting to see a doctor in Canada - https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/podcast/2018/oct/truth-about-waiting-see-doctor-canada Assessing wait times - https://healthydebate.ca/2020/09/topic/assessing-wait-times-in-canadian-eds/Any excuse that trumpcare will save us [38:22]Is not a thing - https://www.ehealthinsurance.com/resources/affordable-care-act/trumpcare-2019 Is not a thing - https://www.medicareadvantage.com/resources/trumpcare-explainedStill isn't a thing - https://www.ehealthinsurance.com/resources/affordable-care-act/trumpcare-vs-obamacarePeople dislike Obamacare but like ACA - https://www.huffpost.com/entry/obamacare-vs...
The Full Rant Text [1:36] - I argue a lot of politics online. Sometimes that leads to interesting interactions, but not this week. Representative Kevin McCarthy posted some non-sense and I called him a traitor and said he wasn't a good source because he was a liar. Of course his supporters leapt to his defense. The arguments rapidly got mired in name calling and every republican fear being projected onto me.Let me slow down for a moment and pick just one. The United States can accurately be described as a Democratic Republic Magistocracy with Kleptocratic and Pornocratic tendencies all while supporting a robust Capitalistic Oligarchy and a Militaristic Hegemony.That sounds really negative and there is a lot to unpack there. I view it as a list of things to improve not a shit list and I won't unpack it, but I will share some simplified definitions:Democracy - a government where people vote on stuff.Republic - a government where people choose leaders who do the day to day governing.Magistocracy - Leadership by magistrates, judges.Kleptocracy - Leadership by thieves.Pornocracy - a government so corrupt and willing to embrace drama that it reminds one of the porn industry. In front of and behind the camera.Capitalistic - A culture that elevates money.Militiaristic - A culture relating strongly to warfare.Hegemony - A group of countries all taking leadership from one.So, knowing all these about the United States you can imagine my frustration when people say stuff like: wE aRe DeMoCraCy NoT a rEpUblic. And how that is compounded when intelligent people like Legal Eagle repeat that phrase not realizing it is a thought terminating cliche used as part of shitty political debate.With all of that complex categorical nuance it can be hard to discuss ethics in our leadership.People argue that the constitution allowed for McCarthy to try to vote away our election results, and it does. It allows for that so congress isn't forced to accept fraudulent results from the states and we had no evidence of fraud. So maybe we shouldn't be taking our ethical ques from government and laws which I already described as a Kleptocracy and Pornocracy.So where should we get ethics?Some reach to the bible and try to determine what jesus would do. I think that horseshit because there isn't much evidence to support religion, but that doesn't really matter because the bible doesn't really have much to say about modern problems. The bible doesn't say a lot about zoning or pollution. Even places where religious books appear to have some say like, abortion, taxation, or usury, it still takes human judgment to interpret that. Notice how the pious can't agree on these topics?Between the lack of being real and general lack of agreement religion is a not a good source of ethics.Some people might reflexively reach for science. But it doesn't matter how much you learn about the facts and reality of what is. It doesn't matter how much you study evolution, for example, because that can't tell you if genetically engineered corn is ethical. That study can tell you if the engineered genes can leak out into the ecosystem or not or if those genes will hurt people eating them. You can't infer a value judgement from the raw data alone, you need to use human judgement at some point.Put another way, science can't tell us what we want to do, but once we decide what we want to do we can decide how best to approach our goals using science. It is up to us whether we do that ethically or optimize for something else.I am going to pick on one extremely contentious but stale topic for a deeper example.In April 2011, one soldier now named Chelsea Manning, but at the time Bradley Manning, leaked a video of an attack helicopter killing some journalists. I think we can all agree killing people and journalists unprovoked is bad, and if you can't then fuck off.But they were in a war zone and reviewing the full 38 minute video makes it look like the pilots mistook bulky cameras for weapons. They asked for permission to shoot, they took some precautions, clearly not enough but more than one might expect for a warzone.Look at the full length video in the show notes. The full video is not clear, and these kinds of mistakes happen in earnest in war, communication is hard even on the best days. People seriously discussed punishing or firing the pilots and their commanders. The ethics around this is way less clear than it could be. How do we consider accidents or people who might be using accidents to cover up mistakes when thinking about ethics? Then the leaker, Chelsea, who claimed to just want to expose corruption also released three quarters of a million other files. She was tried and held with less than the entirety of due process. She was a soldier and subject to the UCMJ, a sort of military only law, in addition to normal law. And leaking such vast amounts put her in a special category, but also the relative ease she did it made leniency seem plausible. To leak this much when the laws were written would have taken semi trailers full of stuff. Should punishment be harsh or lenient. The press coverage at the time made her holding conditions seem like borderline torture. There were accusations that this treatment was in part because she was trans. Then her sentence was commuted 7 years from what might have been lifelong incarceration.There were so many mitigating factors. Chelsea tried to go through appropriate channels and it seemed that to everyone involved that Chelsea thought she was doing the right thing even though all of her superiors in the government disagreed that it was actually the right thing. How much should intention and goals factor in?Is any of that right or wrong?This topic is clearly too much for me to cover in a rant, but this scenario has enough moving parts to be used in thought experiments.Think bigotry against trans people is good? If Chelsea had access to cheaper counseling and not the hypermasculine environment that is the US Military she might not have wanted to leak these documents. That is pretty damningly anti-bigotry and seems on firm footing with the evidence.Should we have not gone to war in the first place? Most listening now probably think it was a bad idea, but when we started the war was overwhelmingly popular. We had evidence from previous wars and perhaps we could have known betterShould leakers be punished more or could leaks possibly be prevented by increasing the amount of material that leaves through the official channels? The evidence seems to show that beyond a certain point punishment is not an effective deterrent and at some point national security is important and needs to be protected so we can't just release everything. So maybe we should encourage a strictly volunteer military instead of coercing membership by paying for college with the GI Bill. If college were federally paid for then Chelsea Manning may never have entered what was obviously a difficult situation.I can't do this topic justice, I want to revisit it more in a future episode perhaps as a central topic. But we can keep asking hypotheticals about this situation because it is so public and has so much visible nuance.There are a lot of questions here and on ethics in general. I cannot provide good answers. I can say how I approach ethics. Here is how much I take for granted. I have no evidence that this is right beyond my own intuition, but I do believe this needs to be the foundation for human ethics. Just four words “we should minimize suffering”.That short sentence does a lot of heavy lifting. It implies that we know how. With enough science and data we can know how. You won't find that sentiment in most hol...

SummaryRead the show notes and see the sources at https://dysevidentia.transistor.fm/episodes/work-will-set-you-free . This episode Sqeaky rants about words and Socialism. The he joins Mako to cover a few corrections, discuss recent technical issues and how they related to the chip shortage, the have an in depth discussion on worker motivation, minimum wage, UBI, and unemployment insurance.The Full Rant Text [1:53] - Words have meaning, sometimes. Words are really just tools. They are tools to move an idea from one person's head to another.This means that sometimes words are fuzzy because the idea is fuzzy. Most Of The time this is fine because we are dealing with people we know, or least with people sympathetic to us, and when we are vague they can help fill in the gaps.At work you might discuss “the printer” and know we are talking about the one on floor 5 that always jams, or talk in terms of filling “the shift” because no one wants to work saturday nights.At home we might talk about “dinner” and know we are talking about that special mac and cheese recipe, or we might talk about “the other day” and know the exact event.Words can be imprecise and still move the idea most the time.This can break down when we are talking to unsympathetic people. Like some sleezy salesman might sell you a “warranty” knowing that warranty gives you the impression of protection, when in actuality it gives you a bunch of red tape and extra headache when the thing you bought breaks.This is not the only way that words can break down. In the past few weeks I have seen two words break down for different reasons.When I talk with people about evolution. A common argument is that it is just a “theory”. In common parlance a theory is an idea that isn't fully formed, a conjecture, a guess, a thing that might be. We could be playing cards and I might have a “theory” about what cards are in your hand.When a scientist is discussing a “theory” they have a different idea. What us lay people call a theory they call a “conjecture” and those don't have much evidence but haven't been ruled out yet. Notice all that extra specificity? To build on that specificity a scientific “theory” has a body of evidence supporting it and none disproving it. Gravity is a theory, Evolution is a theory, how germs work is a theory, and we can look at germs with our fucking eyes with a toy microscope and germ theory is still just a “theory”.So communication breaks down when people are trying to disprove evolution and don't know about the evidence then try to play semantic games. They often pullout the phrase “just a theory”, because that word copied an idea in my head and pasted the wrong one in theirs. It also doesn't help that people saying this are usually dishonest or at best misguided.The other word that failed me is “socialism”. When liberals say they mean some form of government with at least some centralized aspect. It is fuzzy some mean fully centralized, some mean the United States because we have social roads and thatis a broad gap. It often takes more words to clarify but this is like discussing if submarines swim, it is awkward but it can be worked through to get the ideas across.When conservatives use this word they are all over the place. Some mean something like a government, but many mean “enemy”. I had one tell me earlier today that every democrat goal was socialism. I have seen plenty claim that cancelling medicare, getting rid of a social medical program was, socialist. The guys over on the Cognitive Dissonance podcast relayed a story where a conservative said “socialist is what we call that guy because we can't say the N-word”; End Quote. When used externally this appears dishonest, but most don't seem to know what their words mean, so it is hard to call them liars. Many of them lived through McCarthyism and the red scare or were raised by parents who took that seriously. I will link to some reading on that in the show notes. The short version is that “socialism” is a universal label for the enemy because of this period of intense propaganda in American history. So they see the word as a loyalty test or a way to vote to decide on who the enemy is. If you agree the bad thing is socialism you pass the loyalty test. Or if a thousand people all call it socialism at once then it must be bad, no need to actually evaluate it on its merit or look at any evidence.Even those contortions are words doing the job of moving ideas from head to head. Just not in the direction all people expect. If a conservative calls a thing socialist they might be checking if you are conservative, not telling about the status of workers rights with regards to that thing.We can try to be more careful with words. When I am discussing my hunches with people I call them “hunches”, “guesses”, or “conjectures”. When I am discussing evolution, I leave out the word “theory” and stick to evidence and facts as to avoid useless semantics. When I am discussing democratic principles, I say “electoral principles” or “rights of the republic”, or something equivalent.But we also need to be careful with the ideas others are giving us. When someone says “god say hoesexuality is sin” are they really just testing your response to their bigotry? When they say “chiropractors are doctors”, do they not know about pseudo-science or do they distrust science based medicine? When someone says goofy q-shit do they just mean to share their ignorance? I wish there were some deep moral or witty quip, but I don't have one. I just think we need to be careful with the words give and get, because there is no way to simply be more precise and or otherwise guarantee clarity. We just have to muddle through each situation knowing that our words dynamically impact our communication and what we say or hear might not be moving the ideas intended.Just found this site, I like it so far: https://alphahistory.com/coldwar/mccarthyism/ And the Red scare: https://alphahistory.com/coldwar/reds-under-the-bed/ Prove or disprove Germ Theory on your Own: https://amzn.to/2Sq03Kg HeadLines and Sources[7:18] Corrections and Technical DifficultiesBonus Sources - Ohms's Fucking Law [9:25]https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/basic_concepts/resistance/what-is-ohms-law-formula-equation.php#:~:text=Ohm's%20Law%20states%20 that%20the,the%20current%20will%20also%20doublePractical Discussion - https://www.harmonycentral.com/forums/topic/122227-if-amps-kill-then-why-are-there-quothigh-voltagequot-signs/Sqeaky finally gathers evidence on broken GPU [12:44]https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-113...
SummaryRead the Show notes at https://dysevidentia.transistor.fm/episodes/evaluating-evidence-or-not/edit - Sqeaky has a rant about Winning versus Understanding. Then Sqeaky and Mako discuss what makes for good evidence and covid conspiracies theorists catching and dying from covid..The Full Rant Text [1:35] - When arguing with people I used to try to “win”. I was young and came from an environment surrounded by mostly “conservatives”. I wasn't overly religious, but came from an environment where everyone defaulted to believing in a god.I guess I was lucky, I could handle evidence, I just hadn't seen much of it yet. I got in an argument with another child conservative about climate change. Mr Shannon, you know who you are. He defaulted to parroting those around him and he wasn't dumb, but he was trying to “win” without considering the larger strategy. I outmaneuvered him because I figured out what reality said on the topic mattered most and acknowledging that scientists would side with reality.So we both got sources and both tried to appeal to each other's better senses of logic. By the end of it I learned how CO2 impacted the climate but not weather, what earlier scientists thought about the coming ice age and how that related to the evidence, and how human behavior factored into it. He had a messy disconnected set of targeted attacks on my ideas, and few positive assertions of his own. Only after I had presented my argument could he research then shoot down my points.I had learned enough to build a cohesive and sound view of the world. When he put fallacious arguments up, I often had an immediate response. And not one from a list but rather I knew what was going on and could see that he had no plan or cogency. So I could easily point out how his point didn't fit.Imagine you are preparing a simple dinner with a child too young to read. I am imagining some simple boxed mac and cheese. I could see all the instructions on the box and I knew the steps beginning to end. Having much experience with this simple meal I know what happens if we miss a step or what might be substituted.In his ignorance he was this child suggesting we put chocolate ice cream in at every step. He liked the conservative viewpoint like a child might like ice cream and couldn't see the larger organization of the meal or ideas and kept trying to force chocolate ice cream into the reality of this dinner. Ok enough, that metaphor is more strained than the macaroni.Sometimes when you have enough knowledge a lot of things fit together easily in your mind. It doesn't have to be political. Perhaps you know how people interact, how math works, or as we will discuss later, how a disease spreads. When you know enough your understanding can allow you to make inferences about a topic and know when something simply doesn't fit.There isn't enough knowledge to do this about every topic, and it is possible for a person to drink enough conspiracy koolaid to think they “get it” for a large amount of conspiracies. But appealing to evidence and vetting sources while not cherry picking rarely has such issues.We saw on Jan 6 how poorly the ignorant organize and how feeble they are in a fight. Sure they cling to their guns and the 2nd amendment and pretend it is a shield against tyranny, but it doesn't matter when one is detached from reality. They can't agree on when to act or how to act and have no obvious source of leadership because so many different have equally invalid claims to authority.This is why flat earthers can't organize and why churches are losing attendees. Reality might not have the fantastical intrigue of a religious tale, but it is real. I don't know of any certain way to know that you or I aren't in one of those groups deluding ourselves, but demanding evidence and demanding reputable sources and consulting expertise seems to be a good starting point.When I say expertise, I mean people who understand a topic so well they see a dozen interrelated sub-topics the way I see a mac and cheese dinner. We can all be tricked or wrong, I started this thinking climate change was fake and god was real. I just kept vetting and verifying evidence with an eye on accuracy instead of picking a side. I chose accuracy over winning, and for most of us that is all it takes.Discussion SourcesWhat makes for good evidence [5:38]Mako's Sourceshttps://app.shoreline.edu/doldham/SRR.htmlhttps://buildingcriticalthinking.com/evidence/eight-types-of-evidence/https://buildingcriticalthinking.com/evidence/bad-evidence-fallacies-and-poor-appeals/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUB4j0n2UDU&feature=emb_imp_woytSqeaky's Sources[https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Evaluating_Evidence99% ignorant - https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Virtues/Humility/Being_99.9%25_Ignoranthttps://learn.maricopa.edu/courses/804760/pages/types-of-evidence-slash-understanding-research-articles?module_item_id=4859570https://buildingcriticalthinking.com/evidence/eight-types-of-evidence/*Bonus Sources* Shermer Sexual Misconducthttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2018/09/06/americas-leading-atheist-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-speaks-out/https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Michael_Shermer Genetic Entropy - Bullshit idea citing bullshit pseudosciencehttps://www.amazon.com/Genetic-Entropy-John-C-Sanford/dp/0981631606https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Sanfordhttps://www.geneticentropy.org/whats-genetic-entropy Covid conspiracy theorist [46:57]Rando dies of covid - https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/4/19/2026571/-Noted-Norwegian-COVID-Conspiracy-Theorist-Dies-of-COVIDReddit discussion - https://www.reddit.com/r/skeptic/comments/mu9agb/noted_norwegian_covid_conspiracy_theorist_dies_of/Followers skeptical it was covid - https://www.newsinenglish.no/2021/04/09/hadeland-fears-wild-infection/ Ted Nugent musician, right wing extremist, infowars guest, and covid denier ...
The Full Rant Text [1:55] - After the Gun myth's episode I got into more arguments on social media than I normally do. Understandably most were about guns, which me and Mako discuss later this episode.I find it noteworthy how often these arguments turned to racism or religion with no prompting by me. Some people get so worked up when one thing doesn't make sense in their life, then they lash out wildly. I never brought up race or religion first, because they aren't needed to hammer home the points the numbers make in the guns argument.Maybe people made guns a core part of their identity and lashed out in defense any way they could. Maybe they stereotyped me as someone who would call them racist, I wonder how they developed that mental reflex.Somehow Pascal's wager came up several times. These people kept trying to convince me, the godless heathen, using this tired argument. For those not familiar the basic idea goes like this: believing in god costs nothing if you are wrong and not believing in god dooms you to hell if you are wrong. So one should believe in god because there are possible gains and nothing to lose.Let's ignore the real harm that comes with religion, we will tackle that plenty with the Anti-vax connections later this episode, and we can ignore the general anti-science sentiment we discuss that a lot. We can also ignore that evidence based reasoning flies us to the moon and the religious based reasoning that flies planes into buildings.This argument is often put forward by religious types in an attempt to convince us atheists as though we had never heard this before. People advancing this idea act like it is so powerful an argument that it is irrefutable ignoring that a dim child might have the wits to make it crumble on first inspection.Such a dim child might point out that they have a classmate with a different religion who could use the wager on their religion. They might even point out religions they heard of but know nothing about except that they exist and have different gods. So which god do you wager with?Someone, but probably not that dim child, versed in history might point out that Pascal didn't use the wager to push belief in god, but rather to show the idea as unfalsifiable. For those not familiar unfalsifiable means that it cannot be rationally inspected or checked with evidence, and such ideas are generally best to discard. Pascal still wanted to make believers, rather he took a different more nuanced stance.His wager also crumbles under the details of many beliefs. If you claim to believe but don't believe in your heart or fail to say some magic words some versions of god will still condemn you to hell.All of these are great reasons to ignore this shitpile of an argument.I think the best reason to ignore it is that when asked no one ever claims Pascal's wager is what made them start or stop believing in god. Ok, there will be that one contrarian oddball claiming that, but I am not ignoring the larger body of evidence I have seen in countless online debates and in active recruiting efforts.When asked, a huge number of people who converted to some belief picked it up when they were at their most vulnerable, like in a 12-step program around the part where they acknowledge a higher power or after some horrible disease took a loved one and some preacher directed them to a church instead of a therapist.On the flip side, most converting to nothing just got hammered repeatedly by logic and saw failings in their previous theology. I am relying on personal experience for that one rather than sources, I have only seen it dozens of times firsthand.Pascal's wager is something a person reaches to shore up their belief as a matter of cherry picking or motivated reasoning, it isn't the lynchpin of any proselyzer's belief. I put some links for further reading on the wager in the show notes, don't take my word for it. I think I might be stepping too close to one of Noah Lugeon's diatribes, but I can't find right now so I will include his book in the links. I doubt he will mind, he understand that there is only so much that can be said to refute a centuries old argument that only gets dragged out by those who have no clue how their beliefs spread.Wikipedia on Pascal's wager - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wagerRationalWiki on Pascal's wager - https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wagerBooks on Pascal's wager - https://amzn.to/3gkajO5Good Books Sqeaky has readBuy all of these, they are all great and Sqeaky has read all of them.

Summaryhttps://dysevidentia.transistor.fm/episodes/shooting-down-gun-myths - This episode Sqeaky briefly discusses what dysevidentia is then him and Mako jump in to discussing 9 different gun Myths. This episode is also available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FapFT6f86EsSmall Business of the Show: https://clocknchain.squarespace.com/Nicehash lets's you earn money with your gaming computer: https://www.nicehash.com/?refby=eda23ada-5de2-4374-8816-3631679dbf9e The Full Rant Text [1:49]There is some confusion on what dysevidentia is.Dysevidentia is similar to but not Cognitive dissonance. Cognitive Dissonance is the feeling of discomfort people have when holding two mutually contradictory beliefs. Dysevidentia is for when people cannot feel this. I have felt Cognitive Dissonance and I suspect most listeners have felt this at some point when we were on the cusp of changing our minds.Dysevidentia is similar to but is not compartmentalization. Compartmentalization is when a person holds two mutually contradictory beliefs, but is able to compartmentalize the beliefs away in different parts of their life or different contexts. For example: an oil prospector who is also a young earth creationist. This isn't always the case, plenty of people can believe that the earth is round and flat or that the enemy is strong and weak, or other contradictory nonsense in the same context.There are dozens of other examples of mental issues people can have. Most of these are legitimate attempts to categorize issues that brains can have, and many are useful and should be investigated. However, I think these words and conditions are generally made by doctors, scientists, researchers, and other people who take their intelligence for granted. I believe that these smart people think that their ability to process evidence is the norm rather than a fortunate exception.Consider just for a moment, Does everyone in a group need to be able to process evidence for a group of humans to survive, or even thrive? Biology, and evolution specifically, love to take shortcuts on conserving energy. With our Brain using about 20% of our energy, evolution certainly has incentive to find shortcuts.So why do so many smart people insist on believing that silly things like facts, logic, and evidence are somehow more convincing to most people than emotion, tradition, or faith? These smart people even believe this counter to a lot of evidence.In the show notes I will link to some articles and studies showing how useless evidence is when it comes to changing minds. They cover cognitive dissonance, selection bias, the dunning-kruger effect, selective exposure, motivated reasoning and many others. Dysevidentia is all and none of these. The simple fact is that most people have made up their mind before they even consult the evidence.Brain 20% [3:15] - https://www.brainfacts.org/Brain-Anatomy-and-Function/Anatomy/2019/How-Much-Energy-Does-the-Brain-Use-020119Cognitiive dissonance is …, and they have a great political example [1:56] - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/think-well/201812/why-many-people-stubbornly-refuse-change-their-mindsStanford experiment on perceptions not changing with facts - https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/why-facts-dont-change-our-mindsAn article acknowledging the powerlessness of facts to change minds - https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/03/this-article-wont-change-your-mind/519093/Gun Violence Myths, HeadLines, and Sources [4:11]Myth - Gun Violence is Down [7:28]https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/gun-violence-americaCites https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdfViolence stats - https://www.statista.com/statistics/191219/reported-violent-crime-rate-in-the-usa-since-1990/Gun violence stats - https://www.statista.com/chart/16421/the-number-of-us-gun-deaths-due-to-firearms/Pros and Cons - https://gun-control.procon.org/us-gun-deaths-by-year/Good and queries police sourceshttps://www.gunviolencearchive.org/Good and queries CDC - https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2013/05/07/gun-homicide-rate-down-49-since-1993-peak-public-unaware/Myth - Banning guns won't work, Bans don't work for drugs [14:42]Wiki on Firearm Deaths - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rateWiki on Firearm Laws - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nationHow Japan Eradicated Gun rime - https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38365729A gun buyer testimony in Japan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDodwo5vBfIGun Crime Prevalence in the US, Good Charts - https://www.vox.com/2015/10/1/18000444/gun-crime-us-foreign-countriesKrocodil!

I was shitposting on Reddit and stumbled upon a discussion in r/MagicTheCircleJerking about trans rights.Her name is “Alesha, who smiles at Death”, including the “smiles at death” part. She lives in the fictitious game multiverse of Magic the Gathering and she transitioned from mister murderous murderer to miss murderous murderer, and murdered anyone anytime. She is a fictional trans character who made people dead that deadnamed her.Fortunately, most people on this part of reddit are decent and jumped to her defense. Even though Alesha is the last person who needs defense it is the right ethical stance. She literally has an army called the “Mardu Horde” with swords, horses, spears and other medieval army stuff. Or in another timeline raised an army to slay the Mardu Horde and did so. She is a total badass and has all the rights she wants, and I link to books and stuff about her in the show notes.In this discussion thread she was parodied as “Alesha, Who Play Sport”, and even had her card with the art of her leading the hordes into battle modified with a football. Either this is conservative bigoted ignorance or jab at that ignorance and that ignorance elevates the extremely minor issues of trans people in sports to full blown bigotry in reaction. Clearly Alesha's ability to run a touchdown is more important than the countless warriors felled by her sword.Some small fraction of people transition from Male to Female. Some fraction of this fraction of people then play sports (We should have more sports in America, again see the show notes). Some small fraction of that fraction of a fraction of those people go on to compete at a level where it matters in some competitive sporting context.Even then, if there were tons of people it is still just sports and there are better ways than laws of ways of working this out, yet we have asshats pushing laws.Thanks to a paper from Jessica Campisi, a student researching this topic at Bellevue University, we know that there 71 anti-trans bills filed in the last year and 35 focused on sports. This is despite most lawmakers in most states being unable to cite examples of this happening, and even fewer where it is problematic.So this excuse is bullshit on three fronts, but that doesn't stop it from being used to justify a huge amount of pain and bigotry towards trans people. This isn't the only shitty excuse. People have baseless claims of pedophelia or appeal to some other evidence-free ideology like religion.There is real suffering with discrimination. Trans people get passed over for promotions, fired without cause, have lower earnings, and all that is before the verbal bullshit directed towards them. Being a person that can easily pass for a rich straight white male, of course the first place I go is economic harm, but I am sure the random violence trans people face isn't fun either.Fuck the deeply annoying people who care more about which bathroom trans people use than why trans people are fired or excluded just for being trans. There is real suffering around this and people are pushing sports testosterone and bathroom laws, but not equal treatment or pay laws. The evidence is in, the bigotry is real and we could probably do a whole episode on the slanted research of male to female discussion, political goals, and religious motivations of this thanks to Jessica's research.Back to reddit, these people verbally barraged anyone being even slightly transphobic. This is good. What is deeply annoying here is that people asking honest questions get attacked too. Someone suggested Alesha kill people. She is fictional, so clearly that can't happen. So one idiot not understanding, pointed out that transphobia exists on a spectrum and questioned who should be killed, and blathered on uselessly for a while.This person didn't get the joke. This person was drenched in a flood of downvotes and foolishly suggested ways to talk about actually changing minds. This person was just stupid, not a dysevidentia sufferer that I know of. But they did miss the frequency that hateful bigots hide their bigotry as “just jokes” even when the threats or words were affecting real and specific people instead of hypothetical homophobes being cut to ribbons by a fictional character's fictional sword.This person was espousing a mythical kind of centrism where people who police themselves are punished and often bigots “just joking” get away with it.They were talking about “Leading by example” and “taking the high road” and other things that historically don't and have never worked without other leverage. Look into it, most peaceful protests had government, money, or the credible threat of violence on it's side or they failed.Still this person wanted a serious discussion about trans-rights, but couldn't grok that this wasn't the time or place because Alesha Demanded Blood! Well meaning trans defenders just downvoted and reported, presuming the idiot to be a transphobe simply because he asked a question. And people not getting the joke reported comments for promoting violence. The discussion was locked and is now a craterous wasteland of deleted posts.This instant demonization of these centrists is also entirely understandable, even if it's deeply annoying. Bigots commonly stand behind a defense of “The marketplace of ideas”, “let discuss like adults”, “I am just asking a question”, or “bigotry exists on a spectrum”. Bigots like to stand behind such phrases because their ideas are terrible and rightfully the target of derision. But as we are “discussing it like adults” they can hide their awful ideas under a cloak of superficially civil words.Nuance is important. We weren't having any in that reddit thread. This all comes back to the paradox of intolerance. I heard some guy named Karl Popper wrote about it in some I bought...
The Full Rant Text - I am fat. This isn't healthy, all the doctors and experts agree. I am at higher risk of diabetes and heart issues and so is anyone else overweight. There are countless studies and boundless evidence to support this written and assembled by the best experts, I linked a few in the show notes.Body shaming, needless berating, and insults don't help. This seems obvious to some, If people are overweight then insulting them usually won't help. It leads many people to stress eating and or to dodge the gym. Insults might help me, but I am a confrontational douche bag. Most people aren't me and don't start a podcast to escalate their confrontationalism.That insults are bad isn't obvious to all people. For this issue there people on the left and right of the political spectrum getting this wrong. See the show notes for bill maher and brietbart doing so. I almost expect this from an idiot comedian, but the latter is a slanted news outlet that actually cites sources that directly contradict them.Again, this is all well studied and documented by experts, and again I linked a few in the show notes. So, I shouldn't be a jerk to fat people and if I want to help my fat friend then being positive and compassionate is the way to do it. So long as I am not being an enabler of poor choices through excess “body positivity”, then great.All these experts telling us what works and what doesn't makes the evidence feel far away and unapproachable. Today we are going to be discussing aliens and outer space, so evidence might feel even further away.Evidence doesn't need to be some distant thing made only by people in some ivy league school. The best evidence has always been instructions on how you can prove something to yourself.To help with my fat problem I use a simple scale. I weigh myself every morning. This isn't grand. This isn't miraculous. This simple act is life changing. I am down more than 60 pounds, by doing trial and error to lose a few pounds every month. This isn't me being special or seeking adulation, fuck that. Do not congratulate me for taking basic care of myself.However, please, note my use of evidence. There is no fad diet. No miracle drug. There is no one secret that nutritionists hate. There is me realizing that if I skip sour cream in burritos I kept losing weight that month and that I liked the guacamole more anyway. Skipping sour cream is a small change and I noticed the result because I measured.I do need to know how to use the scale as a tool. I need to understand that I can fluctuate up to 5 pounds (2 kilos for those of us in civilized countries) every day just on water weight. So I need to account for that, doing averages, or tracking record lows, or something. There are a few other things I need to know, but those details aren't important today.Understanding that you can gather evidence is the important part. Understanding that you can use a new tool to gather evidence is almost as important. There are a ton of tools that can be learned easily enough. Evidence doesn't need to be far away if you are willing to do just a little work and learn some tooling.Even many of the seemingly far off discussions of this episode can be impacted by amateurs gathering evidence with the right tools. The amatuer astronomy scene is kind of a big deal. Amatuer astronomers discovered the planet Uranus. In more recent times they discovered more than 40 exoplanets. Both the Hale-Bopp and Shoemaker-Levi 9 comets were at least partially discovered by amateurs.Even for things that seem far away you can get into it for less than the price of a playstation. I am not saying that you should rush out and buy a telescope or binoculars today. But, you should at least consider what you can do, what you can learn that you hadn't known before. Maybe get a kill-a-watt to lower your power bill. Get some new measuring tool or book for an interest you had but hadn't dug into yet. You might be just one new tool away from gathering some information that can help you, help others, or just learn something new.Again, I link to some I bought and used in the show notes, including the Kill-a-watt which is just a gizmo you stick between your electrical appliances and the wall outlets to see how electricity they're really using.Apparently, there aren't any limits, I learned just hours before recording this that there is an amateur genetic engineering scene and they use living cells as tools and have good evidence on the best ways to grow dozens of strains of glow in the dark microbes. If these yahoos can invent microbe raves in their garage then you pick up a fresh tool to learn something new.Health issues of being overweight [1:31]https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/effects/index.htmlhttps://www.healthline.com/health/gastric-sleeve-vs-gastric-bypass#bottom-linehttps://www.hsph.harvard.edu/obesity-prevention-source/obesity-consequences/health-effects/Fat shaming doesn't work [1:31]https://www.webmd.com/diet/obesity/news/20170803/fat-shaming-patients-can-cause-real-harmSome left leaning people fuck this up too [2:15] https://www.stvincentcharity.com/radiant/posts/obesity-expert-explains-why-body-shaming-is-harmful-not-helpful/These guys lied, their own sources contradict their claim that shaming helpied https://www.breitbart.com/social-justice/2016/07/05/fat-shaming-is-good-science/Their source discussing collaboration - https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/chi.2014.0062Getting Into Astronomy [5:09]https://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/watchtheskies/stars_hobby.htmlhttps://www.astrojunkies.com/how-to-get-started-amateur-astronomy/https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Get-Started-in-Amateur-Astronomy/Amatuer Astronomer Discoveries [4:46]https://listverse.com/2016/07/30/10-space-discoveries-made-by-amateur-astronomers/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Shoemaker%E2%80%93Levy_9https://mytelescopio.com/top-5-space-discoveries-made-by-amateur-astronomers/DIY Microbe Rave [6:07]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtmVfWj20nYGet a tool [5:09]Amazon Affiliate link to the exact Kill-a-watt Sqeaky bought April 3, 2015 and easily paid fo...
n his rant Sqeaky shares how evidence relates to methods of inquiry and complains about people who don't understand either.Then Sqeaky and Mako jump straight into a few current topics. The 4 topics they are to discuss today:The mixed truth of covid vaccine deaths;Shell declares peak oil (for themselves);rush limbaugh is dead;And the Annunaki AKA sumerian Ancient Astronauts.Please Consider Supporting UsBecome a Patron - https://www.patreon.com/dysevidentia Nicehash Sponsor - https://www.nicehash.com/?refby=eda23ada-5de2-4374-8816-3631679dbf9eThe Rant Full Text (1:27) - Evidence Supports AlgorithmsThere is no algorithm for truth, and I don't mean to reference the insightful Tom Scott video. I will leave a link in the show notes, thoughFor those who don't know an algorithm is just a series of steps to solve a specific problem. This comes up often in software because computers are good at blithely following a series of steps to get to some result. But we humans can use them too.Some people learn of the scientific method and presume this algorithm is the only way to learn unknown things. This is a good method and highlights the importance of understanding how a single change impacts a result, but there are other “methods” in other disciplines.Historians have a documentary method , geologists have methods for learning the age of things, Astronomers have ways to date stars and planets based on distance and brightness. These are just algorithms performed by humans. These methods say how to decide whether to use or reject historical documents. How to determine the age of a fossil or rocks and why there is a different approach for each. How to measure the distance to an object trillions of miles or kilometers away without being fooled by the many illusions the universe or our tools put in our way.These algorithms are only as good as the information they have access to. If you give them garbage you will get garbage, if you start with clean reliable facts and pristine samples the computers and experts following these steps will produce answers as accurate as anything else they do.These methods are all ways to draw conclusions from evidence. They help in preventing a researcher from bias towards a conclusion then cherry picking evidence that only supports it. This can be hard even for experts.Some people say that if a method or algorithm doesn't always work it should never be used. Some people expect some algorithm to be correct even with bad data. Some people will say anything to shoot down a conflicting viewpoint.No tool is useful in every situation, using these methods correctly is like any other tool, there is a time and a place for each. Many of the arguments against them are useless equivocations claiming that a thing is broken if it isn't perfect. These are of course idiotic rebuttals.Why do people persist in believing that information can come from nothing, which is what would need to happen for an algorithm to produce good data from bad? What do people decry anything they don't like? For at least some people this is likely dysevidentia, you wouldn't be listening if you weren't at least open to the idea that not all people can understand how to work with evidence.The real way to get to truth and knowledge is to do whatever it takes to not be fooled, even by your own goals and desires. This is why experts have so different many methods, they have worked out the methods that function in their domains of expertise.Then we get the raving hordes online. Recently, I have been arguing with trump supporters. Many claim to have evidence the election was stolen from trump, and none of them provide evidence when I ask for it.They ask for evidence it wasn't stolen and I provide the 60 or more court cases where trump's lawyers chose not to present evidence. I suggest we consider the countless audit logs and oversight from observers provided by both parties. I point out that even republicans in charge of some contentious electoral districts say it was a clean election.They attack mainstream sources like CNN or MSNBC, then I point out that I used alt-right sources and direct them to said sources and they mysteriously stop responding. When they see alex jones switch narratives exactly when I said he would or see that an alt-right stream presents the same facts, minus some key piece that allows their dishonest spin, most objecters are stopped completely. Those that aren't stopped either can't process evidence (dysevidentia) or won't process evidence (liars).They started this presuming all they needed to do was attack my “method”, and they presumed their method was mine but mirrored. They took in one or two sources that agreed with them and moved on. I actually research the things I argue about, because being correct is a very strong stance to argue from.There are people so caught up in the act of shooting down sources, tracking finances to show bias, pointing political fingers, or otherwise scouring secondary effects for any imperfections they miss that all these methods are all about evidence. If I have a dozen sources that cross-corroborate I already know the facts, that one of my sources is biased doesn't matter because I have already accounted for that. And of course don't trust a source that is all by itself and biased.Questioning sources is good and should be done often, but a bias doesn't mean a thing is inaccurate if the other sources agree by different means.First, get evidence, verify the quality of evidence, use evidence to make decisions, and be willing to change your mind when the evidence says you should. If you don't, then you can and will make mistakes that might be more costly than looking foolish online, it could prevent you from becoming a supporter of a failed ideology.No algorithm for truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leX541Dr2rU HeadLines and SourcesCovid Vaccine causing deaths [6:40]https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/alex-jones-coronavirus-vaccine-conspiracy-theories-are-public-health-threathttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-18/what-to-know-about-vaccine-related-deaths-allergies-quicktakehttps://www.thehealthsite.com/news/23-elderly-people-die-in-norway-after-receiving-the-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-cautionary-note-issued-791302/https://www.deccanherald.com/international/covid-19-vaccine-23-senior-citizens-die-after-taking-pfizer-shot-939742.html
In his rant Sqeaky shares a first-hand story about a co-worker suffering from dysevidentia.Then Sqeaky and Mako discuss the three source method, a simple way to get fooled a little less often when learning new stuff. The the recap five topics from 2020 that get too much discussion today:A faith-healer, pastor, and prophet who closes their door to covid permanently;How trump doesn't respect veterans no matter what the memes say;What trump actually could have about the pandemic;Why people who called it a "hoax" are now getting a vaccine for it;And why covid wasn't man-made.Here is the full text of the rant and the sources we used in our discussion:Rant - This is Dysevidentia (1:30)I coined the word dysevidentia during a discussion with some people on Reddit. These people had good intentions. They meant to give evidence to trump supporters or religious people in hopes that this would change their mind, as if there is some piece of evidence you can give to someone who is still a trump supporter in 2021 that will spark change. These well intentioned redditors are familiar with using evidence in their day to day lives, and they take this ability for granted. Perhaps they are doctors, or lawyers, or software developers or some other category of experts and they need to make new and complex inferences and presume everyone else does also. They ignore millions of people out there who don't need to and they ignore the millions of people who are in similar professions yet simply don't. I have been a software developer for something like twenty years, and in one of my early software development jobs I worked with someone who simultaneously believed that the earth was flat and that the earth was hollow. I hope that I can rely on my audience to understand that either of ideas is ludicrous when compared against any evidence. But that isn't the point here. We have all met someone who has denied something that was real, perhaps even done it ourselves. But it is rare to accept two such mutually contradictory things, real or false. It didn't matter to him that a flat earth didn't have a center, `cuz the merfolk armies or the mudmen armies, or whatever armies he believed in were poised to somehow strike out from the US military bases and the mid-ocean rifts to take over the surface and kill everyone. See, by being positioned in the center of the flat earth's sphere they could rapidly access every strategic point on the surface. And this didn't conflict or contradict with the notion that the one world government or new world order was propagating round globe misinformation to keep the flatness secret, presumably for their own sinister reasons. This person had a master's degree. This person was a software developer for 20 years when I was only a few years in. This person was highly competent, earned a professional wage, was able to manage databases, troubleshoot software, and handle novel complex tasks. Yet somehow this person couldn't handle some basic contradiction in logic using evidence. This person honestly believed that the one world government and that the mermen or subterranean armies were going to come out of the nearby military base to attack and kill everyone nearby. Despite this he continued to do things like buying property and living near the military base. I mean extra property, like rental property with the goal of producing a secondary income. He had no reasoning reconciling these beliefs with these actions. It is easy to think that maybe I just had passing conversations with this individual, but we carpooled together to go to work the next city over. Me and him carpooled to go to work every day for an hour in each direction. Two hours per day we spoke for the duration of my time at this job. I got to understand his ideas inside and out and they simply didn't fit with each other. This wasn't a simple matter of the flat and hollow earth being donut shaped or bubble shaped or something similar.No. The earth was flat and a disk, and the earth was spherical and hollow. He believed both of these and it didn't matter this simply couldn't happen. This is Dysevidentia, an inability to reliably process and integrate evidence. Other than holding mutually contradictory and therefore impossible views this person was intelligent, capable, and professional. People like this are why I have repeatedly compared dysevidentia to dyslexia or dyscalculia. These other issues are comparatively well understood, diagnosed by doctors, and don't always prevent someone from leading a fulfilling life or having a successful career. Someone suffering from one of these three issues doesn't make them stupid. It doesn't stop them from being stupid either, I suspect such people are stupid about as often as anyone else. I have worked closely with people who have dyslexia and when empowered with the right tools and environment their intelligence shows in their work. Perhaps we can do something to empower people with dysevidentia or somehow shelter them from people who would abuse and mislead them like cult leaders or traitorous ex-presidents.
