I have been trying to figure out whatinthehellisthematter with people. As I have said before, the psychology of those who insist on digging in their heels by clinging to what they think is “research” would be fascinating — if the rest of us did not have to be trapped with them.
Recent, real-life, in-person reporting of hospitals having to postpone heart surgeries because of Covid patients (mostly unvaccinated) taking up beds and staff is damned scary. The medical community is calling deaths from postponing needed surgeries “collateral deaths.” That term surely should get the attention of those who need to just get the vaccine — but it does not. I saw the psychology term “cognitive dissonance” in an article on npr.org this morning. Maybe that explains the attitudes that I was beginning to see as bsc. I will have to read up on cognitive dissonance — you know — do my research. . . Research — which I actually know how to do — and have taught others. But geez, in those days, I never had to face down the Facebook snake pit. All I had to do back then was to teach them that Wikipedia is not a legit source BUT you can back-source it and then back-source the back-sources.

Yes, and as we all know, there hasn't been a single liberal that has died of COVID

There've been plenty. But none of them went out of their way and became internet-famous for warning people to NOT get vaccinated.

I don't doubt Fauci is a very smart man but I also don't doubt he has hidden agendas. When he flip flops several times on the advice he gives, he loses me. When he claims no one should question him because he is science, he loses me. When he tries to change the definition of gain of function research, he loses me. The CDC loses me when it claims gun violence is a disease. The WHO loses me when it covers up for China. The NIH loses me when it won't admit it funded gain of function research. Those organizations all have agendas. I'm not really a sheeple type of guy. Go ahead and accept everything hook, line and sinker that comes out these governmental agencies. Me, I'll continue to take everything they say with a healthy grain of salt and look for other reliable sources to validate or refute. Last edited by lkagele; 08-30-2021 at 09:13 PM. |

And your point is? dying from the thing you are downplaying and dying despite fighting are two very different things. The irony is deep on this one...

My point is that COVID does not care what political party, philosophy or religion one follows, therefore it was unnecessary for the OP to label those 3 radio host deaths as "conservative". Radio host would have sufficed. His post was just a sideways political "jab"

Thank you! It seems that there are some (I label as TROLLS) that bait folks on here, to get them to respond with defensive political posts, with their intention of getting the thread closed or persons suspended from posting. |

Many people of today conflate reading up to educate themselves on a topic, <good> with research, which is a professional term as described in the original post's quote <not the same as posters have referenced here as it won't hold up in a professional setting>. In order to perform professional research, you must have a professional education to properly evaluate the research, either performing or reading. Otherwise its just general education for your own benefit, and it won't qualify you to skip professional course credits without passing an exam. Bachelor's degrees are not professional degrees, just general education to be able to be competent in the non experienced job market.
I laughed at the posters to the medical mandate history post who argued lay legal arguments between their lay education's interpretation of today, with legal precedent and legal history. Without being a legal professional, they are just arguing their hopes and dreams with a conceptual construct which can give the illusion of being informed, but not being a professional. The distinction is that non professional research doesn't confer professional status, nor does it confer knowledge equal to a professional. At best, it will give one confidence to better understand a professional, make a choice between two professional's for your primary source. . . that's why i argue even with my professional background in finance, to go see a CPA for tax advice, as my ability to fill out and understand taxes is better than a lay person, but its not a professional tax advice. None of these google conferd professionals would succeed in a professional setting. I was a profession oil tanker ship captain and ship pilot in my 20s, and on a national championship sailing team in college. When i was introduced to boat owners who called themselves captains with my background, generally they stopped talking and changed topics. They realized that they were not professional, but were only trying to impress others with their stories. . . I am sure doctor golfing raptor would most likely agree. . there is a huge difference between a professional and an amateur, you should try going one on one with any professional with experience without hiding behind anonymittee and most non narcissists will look and feel foolish. . . the narcissists, not so much. . . . I have tried in athletics, always get my ass whipped thoroughly and I surely respect the difference between my being an amateur and their being a professional. Huge gap of years of education and experience and abilities. . . Last edited by CoachKandSportsguy; 08-31-2021 at 07:08 AM. |

Research
There is an area at Harvard that contains Phd research papers and it is extensive. These really humble you when you claim to have done research on a particular subject. Unless you devote a significant portion of your time to this kind of research you are probably very opinionated and accept your opinions as reality and therefore you've already started out on a contaminated conclusion basis. Over time I have only seen a couple of responses in the of postings on TOTV that may qualify as valid "Research Studies".

Are you suggesting that folks without expertise should not be posting their opinions on this community forum? Or, are you saying that if you are not learned in a subject you should not contribute to the conversation? Almost means the same. I think that I know what you mean by "anonymittee" though. That was a test, right? "anonymity" the right answer?
