Vibes based on my special interest in personalities/psychology as I’m on the other end of the scale and have been trying to figure out the feelers all my life.
Not discounting them either btw. But undoubtedly they have a blind spot for pish as how an argument makes them feel supersedes objectivity.
Debunking is fruitless. Even if you can prove something objectively as a lie and get them to admit it, it won’t change their wider ideology or make them question the source going forward. Can just be explained away and ignored.
People above average intelligence also overestimate the mentally capacity of the average person. They can’t evaluate information so what other choice do they have. Few weeks ago a friend tried to tell us smoking a vape was just smoking a battery. Not speaking figuratively. When pushed on this she said ‘look how small it is! you’re smoking the battery’. Explanations on how a battery heats the coil and vaporises the liquid were met with a blank stare. Can you imagine having that little understanding on how the world around you works? Blows my mind.
How did we determine the percentage based on feels?
It’s feels all the way down.
but thoughts all the way up. ;-)
Vibes are acceptable if they’re not taking priority over real data.
