Its common sense that if i clean all my dishes with clorox wipes, theyll be super clean and therefore i should use clorox wipes on my dishes

Perhaps you should establish a baseline of “any” sense before aiming towards what was considered to be common.

Common sense is for not walking in front of a moving car or watching a TV show from the beginning. It’s not for political arguments because those require actual nuance and research. Reality is seldom as simple as common sense. Doesn’t mean it’s necessarily complicated, but it’s definitely not “well this is my first thought so it must be right”

For example, common sense would say trans women have an advantage in sports. Reality and data shows this to be untrue. Just because something makes sense, doesn’t make it correct

Seen quite a few trans people standing atop a podium…

Yeah that or someone’s cooking the data. Might not be cooking the data on the trans thing you just cited. That might be true. But it’s way easier to fudge data when it’s ultra complex rather than simple.

Y’all just can’t read research or read period. That’s not the fault of researchers being “too complicated” oh you poor child that was left behind

Look if you want to be hypnotized by pieces of paper to make flesh sacrifices that render you unable to have children and end up in a nursing home with no one to take care of you cuz you trusted something that could be a deepfake or ya know, just people lying. Have at it. You’ve got free will. We know how that pattern ends. Trans people have been around for a long time and while I don’t recommend it, we have that data/time via observation well beyond prices of paper.

Common sense would say researchers are smarter than you. But sure buddy 👍. That was a whole lotta nonsense

You realize people go to college… then grad school to do exactly that right? Research. What exactly do you think I’m doing here?

If it’s research you should probably start trying a lot harder

Anonymous OP 7w

So random people on the internet can assume I haven’t done any of the work I have? Nah. I’m gonna try less hard now. I’m gonna take it easy.

Well you don’t seem to know what peer reviewed research is so I’m making an educated guess

I’m aware of how easy it is to fake peer reviewed research.

Also I’ve met many of the “peers” cited in my fields research and it made me question who gave them a loan and a degree.

Actually now that I think about it, the best researcher I know’s coworker is a billionaires daughter who has a full time assistant write all her PHD papers. She’s got the degree…her names all over the papers… but apparently it’s legal in America to just pay someone to do all your research and ghostwrite your papers so you can have a title.

Which really makes me question who’s been governing academia if they thought a system like that would be wise to create then pridefully tout they know things cuz they allowed a bunch of nepo babies to buy titles to look smarter than they are. That’s about the dumbest system I could think of and apparently that’s America’s recent standard for what it takes to be a PHD.
