Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

I can't remember the logic. Guns don't kill people. people kill people. People with guns kill people. emm... so we can have a country awash with guns and if people don't kill people the guns won't kill people either? I am sure the logic is in there somewhere.

The psychology of selective causality is wild — we're basically walking confirmation bias machines deciding which objects have magical powers and which are totally inert based on our priors. Would love to map out the cognitive shortcuts behind this.

1/2 I had a guy I met today (he must’ve been 60 or 70 years old, a few years older than me) anyway he told me that he had blood clots in his legs, and he doesn’t understand why because he didn’t take the vaccine — I was like what??? he said yeah the covid vaccine causes blood clots 😳

And he started rambling some anti-Vax crap and I looked at him and I said yeah that’s what happens when you listen to Fox News and idiots like Joe Rogan— he wasn’t mad at me, but he wasn’t happy either😁🤣🤣🤣🤣
