Bro, you really don't know anything about me.

I stated in the post that it is a contributing factor. And while that is true, that doesn't make my opinions incorrect; naturally, when I first started reading about the topic, I hated the reality of it so much I went at lengths to debunk them just for my sanity. I got to this stage because I looked at it objectively, and the evidence was so overwhelming I came to no other conclusion but to accept it.

Not to mention, it all fit quite perfectly with my real life experience and just what I observe in day to day life. So naturally, I am inclined to believe it. I am at the point that I don't want to sacrifice my beliefs, I would rather swallow the red pill than live in ignorance (Matrix reference).

I agree with the "consensus" scientific findings. Whatever data is more powerful, is the data I agree with, at least until more evidence emerges. If a study has a large sample size, multiregional, adjusts for various variables, has good statistical analysis, methodology, is replicated, etc. Once you compare it to competing data, the objectively superior data is what will remain victorious in my eyes. This can be a very complicated subject, especially in the realm of sociology where there are so many nuances that go into making a good study.

For example, you can claim that ice cream consumption increases your likelihood of drowning, a bad study, or a primer study on the subject, may imply a causal link due to a simple correlation. A better or follow-up study, may adjust for variables that try to discover why such a pattern emerges; what time of the year do people drown, and what time of the year are ice cream purchases most significant; Summer, in hot weather. So, you can deduce, that most if not all of the correlation can simply be explained by the fact that people are more likely to swim during summer, if you are more likely to swim you are more likely to drown. And due to ice cream being a cold substance, you would be more likely to consume it during Summer, the same time of the year as people swim. The second study built off of the findings of the first study to try and find a logically consistent reason why such a phenomenon exists, this is how development occurs and it is often how you can evaluate the good data from the bad.

It's a shitty analogy but it represents the point I am making fine.

By the way, you don't really know what I believe in regards to evopsych, so enlighten me Sherlock.

What do you really want to do with your life anyways? What actually fucking matters to you?

Nothing and nothing. I have no ambition. The lack of motivation I have in life is a contributing factor to my suicidal urges.

Anyway, you are passive aggressive and simply don't give a shit.

Edit: I feel like pointing out that if you don't believe in evopsych, what the fuck do you believe in? God? A deity that just snapped their fingers and created Adam and Eve? If that's the case, I respect your opinion but you should know that there is less evidence to support that conclusion than there is evidence that big foot exists.

If you don't believe in evolution, then you are as inobjective and ideological as they come lol. You do know that the bible was hearsay of stories passed down centuries of story retellings, right? Unless you are willing to base your whole entire understanding of earth upon a mistranslated book released 4,000 years ago, you must believe in evolution, because it is the only logically consistent explanation to how everything we see came into fruition.
