Trump, Man of Science?

Quote:

If you have been paying attention, even a little bit, you know that Donald Trump will become the Republican nominee. And he got here by ignoring facts, according to fact-checkers. Nor has he offered the level of policy details that pundits and voters alike say they want. Combine that with Trump’s non-mainstream ideas on climate change and it seems clear that Trump is not the candidate of science. And that’s a problem because we like science. Science is awesome. But here’s the wrinkle with the view that Trump is not a man of science. One of the things science knows for sure – without a smidge of doubt – is that humans are irrational and we can be influenced by many things…except the truth. Truth is useless for persuasion whenever emotions are involved.

Little bit of advice folks. Might want to start being nicer to any family and friends and co-workers who support Trump. You've been a bunch of bullies, so sure you were going to win.

I can not post links, so google "Scott Adams Trump Man of science"

The problem with science is it can not take into account "irrational" human emotions, because rational and irrational are actually points of view, as witnessed by fivethirtyeight's spectacular embarrassment and discrediting of themselves by unequivocally declaring in seven, fully written out, condescending and acerbic articles, that there was absolutely zero chance Trump could win the primaries.

The Author is Scott Adams, Dilbert cartoonist, and hypnotist. An illusionist of the mind, as opposed to the eyes.

On November Ninth, crow will be in abundance here. You will hate me now, but some of you will be open minded enough to understand there are at least two types of magic, that which Randi practiced, illusion, and that which Adams, and indeed Trump is a master of, a sort of sorcery.

To wit, Randi is DEX based, Trump is CHA based.

And I'm going to call it on gut, not on statistics: Trump wins in a landslide. And not because of the new surprises to come for Hillary. It will not just be because people hate Hillary so much, it will be because people LOVE Trump.

enjoy the read.
