I've only read the headline, but I can already tell this is brilliant! Ten stars. No notes.

People with lower cognitive ability more likely to fall for pseudo-profound bullshit
(www.psypost.org)
slow clap
You better slow down some more or you'll confuse OP.
Being guilty of the same, please accept my shame-filled up-vote.
I would like to petition /c/News to ban all PsyPost links, as they are universally clickbait garbage.
The article feels like an AI summary to me.
Seconded
Stupid people believe stupid shit.
A complex problem is scary for intellectually lazy or emotionally immature people.
It's easier for them to believe there is a simple solution but the "deep state" is preventing the solution from happening, or that a "savior" will come and fix it all for us while we sit back and watch Netflix.
Naw, you don’t say.
So you’re telling me that all of my coworkers who blew there 401k on crypto and who are currently working insane OT to do it again are stupid? I’m shocked I tell you!
Sounds like investing was not the problem. Selling it was 🤪
Edit: I just remembered crypto is more than Bitcoin. Ignore me.
Whatever bro, my Narco Opossum NFT's are a long term investment. We just need to get some shoutouts from TikTok influencers and Twitch streamers and we'll be so fucking back.
That is exactly what they sound like.
Why is this NSFW?
My whole profile is basically NSFW
Everything I post automatically flags
I've fixed it
Everybody needs a hobby.
It gives me a giggle, some people enjoy it
checks profile
Oh I see
You were warned!
Your username was a hint lol
I don't believe in false advertising
Well, you delivered
I hope you got a laugh out of it at least!
If you take out 'unparalleled', the sentence “Hidden meaning transforms unparalleled abstract beauty” makes sense... Generating a sentence from random buzz-words doesn't make it meaningless...
For those downvoting: imagine you look at an abstract painting. It's beautiful, but you don't know what it is. Then someone tells you it's a vulva. Now you can't unsee it. The abstract beauty has been transformed by hidden meaning...
The same goes for "thoughts can influence physical objects." If they couldn't, you wouldn't be able to move your hand to scratch your ass when it gets itchy.
I know what they are trying to say with these sentences and would absolutely get the answers right on their test. But I would get them right because I know what they want for an answer. This is sloppy research, and the correlation between intelligence and correct answers on their test is very likely due to theory of mind and meta-cognitive reasoning...
This article is pseudo-profound bullshit.
Big surprise
Snake oil salesmen of yesteryear already knew this
