Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.“Dan Kahan has suggested, polarization does not happen with debates like climate change because one side is thinking more analytically, while the other wallows in unreasoned ignorance or heuristic biases.9 Rather, those subjects who tested highest on measures like “cognitive reflection” and scientific literacy were also most likely to display what he calls “ideologically motivated cognition.”
Very interesting!

Very interesting indeed. When I was in law enforcement we dealt with this on a constant basis when doing reports.
I reported to a robbery in a convenience store with 6 people involved. Only one gave an exact description ( the one with the gun in his face ) but everyone else gave maybe a 25% accurate description and even then only two others came close to matching each other.
So thank you for sharing that btw. ??
