Scientist Explains Why Politics Makes You Dumb - FutureIQ

Is politics good or bad for you? I’d say bad. Because the data shows that smart people make dumb decisions when there is politics involved. Politics literally makes you dumb. Why do I think this way and why might politics have already affected many of your decisions? Find it out in this episode of the FutureIQ podcast.

I think what it means is to stay away from partisan politics. But when it comes to being aware about policy issues, one needs to be informed citizen.

[@TheFutureIQ]

Absolutely, @anshul_eie
But most of what's in the news is partisan politics. Most discussions and editorials and think pieces about policy turn out to be more about partisan politics than policy. It is important to be aware of policy, but you have to look hard, in non-standard places for it (like policy papers, policy publications, newsletters and substacks-not mainstream media)

But honestly this is a tall claim to make with such an experiment. One needs to also understand that you need to formulate the experiment right and not just make such quick conclusions out of such simple experiments that might not even tell us anything about the question of our interest

clickbaity title, what you meant was that strong belief system ingrained by politics makes people forego logic. doest make you "dumber" , makes your decision worse

[@akilansundaram2181]

Exactly. I don't think people who are smart are dumb. It is just that their ideology is more important than a few graphs and tables. They might not even trust that data completely. They might think there are missing gaps in the story.

Hmm... Is there a difference between a smart person who does dumb things and a dumb person who does dumb things?
