  1. Re:Coincidence, not correlation on Unhappy People Watch More TV · · Score: 1

    I would not say so. It might not be the truth but after that many years, a correlation would be consistent with your data, regardless if the correlation is between another factor or error you have not identified. It might be a coincidence that this correlation is true in real life, but there is a correlation.

    There is always exceptions, but this does not disprove my statement. You are trying to use a "deny the consequent," and this only shows it is not correct 100% of the time, and not 100% incorrect. Marijuana is a sedative, you are relaxed and pacified, and majority of Americans, or of those who even smoke marijuana, are not extreme type A personalities where their "relaxed" state is level with a sober non-intoxicated type B. Case-in-point, q.e.d.

    That question is irrelevant. There are too many explanations and angles to look at this from, but there is a correlation between the amount of television watched and the level of happiness. That is it. The validity and randomness of the data is what effects the facts; the statistics are really saying "of people who participate in the surveys who watch 20% more t.v. are more unhappy."

    Weed pacifies your mind, making you content with your current situation. The mind on the drug is happy, not the mind.

    Yeah, but thanks to biology and fucking hard-ass natural selection, females mate with the exploiters, spawning more with possible those exploiters genetics.

    The consequences of the prisoner's dilemma are dangerous in our society; hence we have laws to protect society against killing/anarchy/exploitation/etc...; hence again the term prisoner's dilemma.

    I don't know much about genetics and psychology, but does that argument hold for both exploiter/exploiter AND exploiter/non-exploiter?
    -i.e. would a kid with exploiter/exploiter parents (we'll say father/mother respectively) be neglected, which would create an extreme anti-social person, but having a mind craving entertainment, and usually being very intelligent, start messing with people at a young age? would the child with exploiter/non-exploiter parents have a nurturing mother who would teach him morals for his mind to grow differently, thinking in ways to avoid being an exploiter, suppressing harmful urges?

    Is this a male-only trait? Would daughters of these couples "carry" the genes?

    Yeah that's the first thing that came to mind, in a game setting too; where the girls are experience, and assholes solo bottom with Mortred, and since they don't spend no time helping the team, they can build Buriza-Do Kyanon by level 10, then piss the ramainder of the game on fully exercising their lexicon of the word noob.
