RE: Low effort thoughts

winchester · Guru

I cannot compete with your wit. But now I think I see how you do it. I thought I had written only two premises. Clearly I was wrong about that, having written three.

You have good eyes.

^winchester: "It doesn't take much thought to know the difference between right and wrong when you have morals. But when morality is relative, practically every decision becomes a science project. "

I'd go along with the first part of not taking much thought; But disagree with the second part in distinquishing between right and wrong. And agree with the third premise of a science project.

I like to keep my responses short, because I got lazy fingers, and even lazier mind.

Longprime, I have to say, I love your wit.

anyway, regarding low effort thought:

It doesn't take much thought to know the difference between right and wrong when you have morals. But when morality is relative, practically every decision becomes a science project.

For the first portion of the study and the rest seem to be that when under pressure, people will say what they really believe.

No worries - another 20 years of PC and we'll all be able to sing in key, no thinking required.

That's weird--according to this study Obama should be a conservative. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/201203-obama-says-own-worst-trait-is-laziness

Seriously? Now this "study" is low effort thinking. Pick a hypothesis that fits their arrogant liberal thinking (people must be stoopid to be conservative), and get those results that prove it. Yeah, real authorities on this scientific study here. What was it, 90-95% of psychologists are liberal? Surprise, surprise.

Now I guess you could get a very small group of psychologists (because that's all the conservatives there are) to say the opposite, to prove the hypothesis that low effort thinking favors political liberalism....ie, I don't have to take care of myself, the gubmint gonna do it for me.

Not a surprise. Low effort thinking favors political conservatism.
