The science of opinion ...


Some may find this interesting (it is).

Some may find this threatening (it isn't, it is science).

Some may read it and use it to help them understand the dynamics of internet forums.

"You mean like I don't mind and you don't matter??
🙄🤔"
The post of the thread (so far).
erik_squires,

"...it discussed the idea of identity of the self and what we own."
Did it say anything about people who do not own a watch? Are they even considered people, or they do not matter?
Hey, no fair! Two against one! Oh, it’s only Uber and goober. Never mind. Get it? Never mind? I’ve still got it!

Value added: Have you seen what it’s like out there, you two? Do you ever actually leave the house? Everybody just yells and screams at each other. Nobody’s civil anymore! Nobody thinks what it’s like to be the other guy. Do you ever think what it’s like to be someone like me? To be somebody but yourselves? I bet you don’t. You probably think I’ll just sit down and take it like a good little boy! That I won’t werewolf and go wild!
geoffkait,

"I bet you don’t."
Another bet you lost.

Nevermind, it does not really matter.
Are they even considered people, or they do not matter?


The article didn't say, but I have strong opinions on this matter and will be starting a new thread on the very subject. :)
