Remember too that we are supposed to believe the “science”, right? The problem is that the “science” is as divided as the politics. Could it be that scientists try to sell us on whatever side is funding them?

Speaking of science, here is a little behavioral science.

Myers’s-Briggs and gender

Women are 75% feelers, and 25% thinkers

Men are 43% feelers, and 57% thinkers.

Not surprising, but women’s intuition takes a hit with men and women both split between sensor and intuitive.

Trying to find a split between Dems and GOP regarding T and F.

Ha, found it, here goes.

Myers’s-Briggs types split again with descriptors.

Source Quora: Steve Jester Studies Industrial and Organizational Psychology

GUARDIANS - SJ, sensor judging

Conservatives, Protectors of the groups they are in, community, family duty and honor

Idealists - NF intuitive feeling

Liberals, believe in universal attributes for every person, high empathy, support what they think is best for all, not individualistic, everyone should be equal. They cannot comprehend that other people believe differently.

Rationalists - NT, intuitive thinkers

Libertarian, Do not believe in anything unless there is a reason for it, Skeptics, atheists, Do NOT believe e in government saying” We will fix it.”

Artisans - SP, sensor perceivers

Pure Communists (my thought Progressives?) Experience life to the fullest, Everyone will have a great time enjoying and creating things for the common good, so no government needed. (My thought, UBI advocates?)

I chuckled as I read through these, as I recognize friends and commenters on the blog.

As for me, I tested long ago as an ESTJ.

Science is science, whatever you say, JohnAZ. Weren't you in the medical game>|? A Nurse or the like? Is 'germ theory' a 'science' in inverted commas?

Oh, no, Marie, you misread me. I was a RN for 17 years and was "raised" a math and science type. six years Navy and 13 years MFG. engineer. I do believe in the logic of science BUT, today's "science" is corrupted by politics. The best example is AGW, another is the Vaxx. When the "scientists" are split, depending on which side is buttering their bread, it is not science.

Germ theory? When you can autopsy someone and find the bacteria in place that killed the patient, yes I can believe the germ was the cause and not just a correlation. Viruses? Remember Night Owl? He was convinced that viruses were a figment of the imagination because they could not isolate them without host tissue, like in a petrie dish. So Covid could not exist, or the flu or colds because there was no such thing as a virus. However, something leaked out of that lab in Wuhan, no matter what the Chinese say and it infected the world in very short order. Just because a group of over ambitious MDs and "scientists" used the situation to promote their mRNA technology does not make the rest of the continued science of anti-viral work useless.

AGW, the biggest con job in history, even bigger than Covid, but a little less deadly. VERY corrupted "scientists" armed with some very corrupted politicians made a lot of grant money pandering to a lot of nutty Leftists.

BTW, we have our own climate scientist on the blog. Marlin checks on the shore every so often to make sure we are not going to drown in the foreseeable future.
