After a bigoted online backlash, led by Elon Musk, The Odyssey achieved a monster weekend – the latest example of a targeted takedown that didn’t work

This article is basically about right-wingers getting angry about The Odyssey while the film has done very well at the box office.

Maybe some right-wing people just like getting angry when there’s really not much reason to get angry.

    what about people with healthy brains?

    Well, I literally said it was in another comment already…

    https://lemmy.world/post/49973823/24987459

    Now, personally if someone said that, and I didn’t see it…

    I would assume it was because for some reason I couldn’t see the comments from the other person.

    So I would sign out, and then be able to see the comments.

    If you still have questions after reading that comment and that study, no worries

    Take a deep breath, remember I’m not arguing with anyone, I’m explaining scientifically repeatable experiments, and ask your questions.

      I was just taking a look at that. Well, not the article but the actual study it links…

      Don’t get so sassy, I think asking someone not only to read a scientific article to answer to your comment but also to go to the other comments to read another is a bit too much to ask. But I’ve done it anyway… and now I’m doubting that you did read them. From this second article:

      No differences in Anterior Cingulate Cortex volume replicated between levels of conservatism - in contrast to the original study

      self-reported ideology (single item) was not a significant predictor of amygdalar volume.

      So you take a deep breath and read more carefully what you post before making bullshit assertions like ‘With like two minutes of training, anyone can identify political affiliation almost instantly from a brain scan, with over 70% accuracy…’.

        Correct, this very much sounds like pseudo-science. I don’t even need to read the studies, all I know is that any self-respecting academic/scientist would call this out for the horseshite it is. If I didn’t know better, it’s a facist in a trenchcoat.

          Well, that was obvious already…

            Yeah I don’t read psuedo-horseshite. Let me come back sober and I’ll read it and deconstruct it. But I really can’t be fucked because again, you’re talking shit out of your arse…

        I think asking someone not only to read a scientific article to answer to your comment but also to go to the other comments to read another is a bit too much to ask

        Weird…

        Personally I think it’s an entitled opinion to ask the same question some one else already has and expect a bespoke answer…

        Agree to disagree I guess

        Best of luck finding someone else to answer your questions. Frankly, it doesn’t matter to me that much if you understand, I was just trying to help you, and clearly you don’t want any help.

        And don’t forget, you started with:

        Wake up, babe! New phrenology just dropped.

        I gave you plenty of chances to learn
