Gotta give him some respect for admitting he was wrong, and doing so several times. Everyone is wrong from time to time, but barely anyone can openly admit it.
Well this makes sense in my head, so ill experiment to check and prove im right.
Huh, weird results, not what i expected.
Trying again with different method/testing criteria/focus
Still not what i thought, why is this happening?
Oh thats cool, it turns out that X is actually happening and its because of some completely different thing i had never considered before, how exciting!
I like to invent P-values and fabricate not only participants, but their consent waivers. I sprinkle around terms like Tasseled Cap, Eigenvector, ANOVA, MLR, Covariance Matrices, etc.
Some people make up stuff because they’re lazy. When my lies are complete, it would have been just as easy to do the actual work because I’m in it for the love of the game.
This is a dangerous mindset. People can and do seriously believe in utterly stupid things like flat earth. The thing is, being a flat earther kind of ruins your life. Everyone you know who isn’t a flat earther (so, most people) thinks you’re a complete moron and have gone off the deep end, and good luck getting a job at a normal company if your entire online presence is promoting a belief in flat earth. It’s not really something you can do casually- it’s all or nothing.
I don’t know the percentage, but I’ve been to a flat earthers/variety conspiracy convention. Unless all of them are pretty good actors, they’re all were very serious about their batshitery. It’s scary, really.

And also add to that that this is more like escaping from a cult than it is merely admitting you were silly and wrong.
99% of doing science is being wrong and being happy about it
Some science is just
I love this, I’m framing it somewhere
99% of the time, I make up statistics
But do you put work into the fake?

I do what most people say when they say “99%”. It’s still bullshitting. 🙃
He’s getting more views on the “I was wrong” videos so I have doubts about his real motivation. I know, I’m very cynical.
That’s not a given, and the human brain has very strong aversions to admitting fault.
You’re right, I was wrong.
I wouldn’t say you’re wrong necessarily, just that prevailing indications suggest the opposite.
you can both be wrong
99% of flat earthers are just trolling, I refuse to believe anything else

So did you set up a pendulum during the convention?
I was there with the pure anthropological interest
99% of them are in it for the community. The other 1% is in it for the views and followers.
I wonder if I could become a big Antivax YouTuber but just leave in little oopsies to try and convince people subtly that I’m wrong.
