I'm quite miffed that the order of the comparisons in the second panel vary..

  1. Bad vs good
  2. Good vs bad
  3. Good vs bad
  4. Good vs bad
  5. Bad vs good

I think that's intentional. It's swapped in the first panel too. It appears more impartial this way.

No it doesn't

For anyone sad enough to buy anything these muppets say, Google 'cognitive priming'

Edit oh and how they've edited their comment to have ridiculous whataboutism in it, such as "hey, replication crisis exists, no theres actually zero science anywhere".

edit2 based on the downvotes, Vanja is mad

Aside from the ridiculousness of reading anything malicious in an unordered comparison list...

In 2012, a great amount of priming research was thrown into doubt as part of the replication crisis. Many of the landmark studies that found effects of priming were unable to be replicated in new trials using the same mechanisms.[10] The experimenter effect may have allowed the people running the experiments to subtly influence them to reach the desired result, and publication bias tended to mean that shocking and positive results were seen as interesting and more likely to be published than studies that failed to show any effect of priming. The result is that the efficacy of priming may have been greatly overstated in earlier literature, or have been entirely illusory.[11][12]

Live footage of you coming up with these responses

Idk man, I'm just refuting you "nuh-uh, totally opposite" logic.

"I think it's intentionally wrong so it appears more impartial"

It's sickeningly OBVIOUS that it's very much partial. It's putting "authoritarianism" and "corrupt" on the side that it's established moral things are on

You guys are dipshits, but it's no wonder with your education and national infra :D

This is just sad, I can't even be bothered to be insulted. You're wrong bro, go figure it out yourself.

"I can't even be bothered to correct you" is like barely half a degree away from "do your own research" — the mating call of the cognitively impaired.

Alternatively your reading is so bad that I didn't even consider it a possibility.

Alternatively, you know you're not saying those things in good faith.

Cognitive priming, is what this post is.
