Hummmmm, this is an interesting retraction

[Neveragain]

So this thing came across my FB account and it seemed interesting. So I started digging into it and here is what I found.

Apparently, an often cited study that was published in AJPS cites Conservatives as being more likely to be psychotic. In short, the published article "American Journal of Political Science 56 (1), 34–51" originally said that those "higher in Eysenck's psychoticism are more conservative" Liberals were more likely to be "higher in neuroticism and social desirability."

Unfortunately for Liberals the published study was reversed on it's data and the statements in the published work. This is their retraction:

While this is an old retraction and was pretty well buried in the media, as you would expect since it is not a shining beacon of Liberal ideals even though we all know they are much more authoritarian and dictatorial than Conservatives. I thought this was appropriate given the recent spat of political spewage in the media and the hyperventilating of the local board Socialists as people oppose their desires for more control and power over people.

Here is a pretty reputable commentary at the time:

This has been known for some time now, I posted about it almost a week ago in response to Timefortaxes citing the incorrect findings.

I'm not the biggest fan of Rogan as any form of source but this short take with Jordan Peterson is worth watching.



Basically these people are going to push their agenda at any cost, I mean GB just killed a baby against the will of the childs parents, whats completely distorting facts have on that?
