Lackner et al. show that individuals with an intermediate level of science knowledge tend to have overconfidence in their own knowledge and negative attitudes to science.

      Yeah what the fuck this has zero actual evidence.

      Maybe I am someone the paper is talking about. I am interested in science. I like to use google scholar to check information on things. But I am fucking disillusioned with science for profit bullshit! Yeah, I don’t trust it as much as I used to because everyone is a soulless money grubbing husk these days.

          yes, what suggested I didn’t? Is there evidence in the abstract? is there a way to access more than the abstract without having some special credential? I can see charts in a sidebar but I can’t enlarge them

            You comments suggested it, again, did you pay to read the article or you just read the abstract?

              No I didn’t pay to read the article, that’s my point. I read the available portion (the abstract). Making me pay to read whether an abstract has compelling evidence or not is a garbage m9del, that’s my point

                  Ah yes, I should be forced to pay yo see if things are true. This is a sustainable model…

                  Oh wait no it isn’t. Misinformation is at all time highs. Maybe scientists should study why?

                  My hypothesis: when things become expensive people improvise, this is true with Healthcare and education.
