A German foundation has said it will no longer be awarding a prize for political thinking to a leading Russian-American journalist after criticizing as “unacceptable” a recent essay by the writer in which they made a comparison between Gaza and a Jewish ghetto in Nazi-occupied Europe.

Just posting a whole big pile of stuff and saying 'the answers probably in there somewhere and you can't disagree until you've been thought it all' is something conspiracy theorists and idiots do.

The first paper doesn't agree with your claim so it's pretty obvious you didn't even read it yourself.

This is not a big pile, these are only 8 peer-reviewed papers. This is a tiny snack on a coffee-cup plate.

I read many papers every day, and I intentionally posted some that don't 100% back up what I said so you can have more nuance.

[–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You intentionally made the first one disagree with your argument to add nuance.

Thank you, I will be laughing about this for years to come.

Oh, I doubt that you'll be laughing. Tell me, how do you think avoiding confirmation biases and sampling biases looks like?
