    For being a science meme group, I’m seeing a distinct lack of understanding of how psychology, especially cognitive bias, works.

      For being a science meme community, it’s a place people can vent about things that they can’t vent about elsewhere. We can understand psychological phenomena, but still be personally frustrated by it.

      Though I do wish this post weren’t targeted toward Boomers. Younger people buy into this type of thing, too.
