It's depressing that you discard research in favor of "observing reality". Like, what do you think researchers do?


P-hack badly-constructed datasets until they find a coincidence in a dataset that reinforces their preferred narrative.

I mean, no, not all of them do that all of the time.

But it seems to be pretty common, and I'm not at all convinced that it's smarter, more correct, or wiser to live by research than by subjective experience.
