There’s this study on maths abiltity and politics.
When you give someone a little maths test, they mostly do badly.
But they do even MORE badly if their political intuition is offended.
If the results show things they don’t beleive, they don’t do the maths right.
Politics really is the mind killer!
And it’s not even that hard a math problem.
