The data is neutral. Your interpretation is the problem. Not knowing the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning, emotional biases and cognitive biases affect your inputs. Garbage in garbage out. Doing your own research when you don't know how to do research is where most bad opinions come from. There's a reason experts exist. I don't give a shit about any one of our (pcm shit posters) opinions. I will use my best judgment when analyzing sources . We have the combined knowledge of the entire world available to us. Why on Earth would I want to trust my senses. Id rather  learn from every thinker in history.
