Zanimljivo istraživanje koje potvrđuje zapažanje da ljudi koji veruju u mistične fraze, besmislene teorije i pseudonaučni bullshit u proseku imaju nižu inteligenciju.
Rupa na saksiji, ali zanimljiva rupa...

Acceptance Of Profound-Sounding "Bullsh*t" Linked To Lower Intelligence
December 3, 2015 | by Robin Andrews
As Marcello Truzzi, a renowned skeptic and professor of sociology in the United States, once said: “An extraordinary claim requires extraordinary proof.” This notion unfortunately doesn’t stop people the world over from believing things that are demonstrably untrue, and a new study published in the journal of Judgment and Decision Making shows that those who are more receptive to what the authors term as “bullshit” tend to be both less reflective and less intelligent than their peers.Profound-sounding statements, incredibly vague claims, and scientific-sounding fakery are all considered to be “bullshit” by the authors of the research – who use the pejorative arecord-breaking 200 times in a single academic paper. An example of this type of bullshit is as follows: “Hidden meaning transforms unparalleled abstract beauty.” This is inherently meaningless, but it appears to communicate something because it appears to have an organized linguistic structure we inherently recognize.
Gordon Pennycook, a Ph.D. candidate from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, used a website to randomly generate profound-sounding phrases to demonstrate the ease of creating bullshit. “Healing is the growth of hope, and of us. We vibrate, we exist, we are reborn” was the phrase that we were greeted with upon visiting the homepage.
