#facebook convos #honestly thoe

Facebook conversation:

them: “I don’t want the government deciding what to do with my money because there are too many people just living off the government dole.”

me: “Okay, but that sounds like confirmation bias. Actual data about welfare shows that the number of people gaming the system is statistically very small, it’s just that they’re more noticeable to you.”

them: “I’m poor, so I can’t be biased against myself.”

me: “That is...not what confirmation bias is. Confirmation bias is how people reject constant statistical data and practical data of how welfare and government assistance helps society in the long run, over a gut feeling and personal anecdotes.“

them: “I get that, I just know too many people living off the government dole. I’m just living in a practical world of reality“

me: *rubbing forehead* “But...rejecting empirical data because it conflicts with your small personal (remembered) experiences is the exact opposite of ‘living in a practical world of reality.’“

#facebook convos #like so many things #it's one thing if we disagree on policy #but please at least be logical if you're going to try to insist that your point and position is logical #and that means logical as in 'taking into account actual proven human nature from a wide sampling #and not just your perception of it
