2. I already said I dont know the answer, Im just using my intuition. But where have I formed this arbitrary conclusion about the issue? Just because Im expressing how I intuitvely feel about an issue youre accusing me of that? I already said intuitions can be wrong, so obviously I dont think what my intuitions tell me is the cold hard reality pertaining to this specific issue, so Im really not sure what youre getting at. Can you clarify?


The point is that what a person intuits without evidence is ultimately irrelevant to the discussion, and the ultimate conclusion to a lack of evidence should be to do actual research on somehting.

Also, theres tons of snap decisions we make on a daily basis that we make solely on intuition because we dont have the time to dig through tangible data to help make our decision for us, much of daily experience works this way is what I was getting at.


And a lot of the decisions we make that aren't backed by any kind of data are ultimately arbitrary, not only in their outcome but their decision making process. Which isn't an issue in most cases, but when it starts influencing behavior or outcomes when it comes to nuanced, far-reaching socio-political issues, that's when it becomes a problem.

So now you're moving the goalposts. You said it was objectively worse than nothing. Lol and what you just posted isn't intuition at all. No one is saying intuition is just as good as conclusive data, but it's quite clearly going to be better than nothing on average.

You're acting as if people are choosing intuition over actual empirical data/conclusive evidence. Obviously that's just plain stupid. Intuition is closer to a guesstimate based on incomplete information. The fact that it is fallible doesn't make it worthless.


Making a decisions based on the view that you don't have enough knowledge of a subject to make an informed conclusion is objectively better than intuiting a conclusion.

There's no such thing tho. Intuition is created by picking up small bits of information and the like, it isn't a blind guess that relies on ESP like you're making it out to be. Intuition is objectively better than nothing.


"small bits of information" doesn't equate objective evidence or reliable data. do you think someone who "intuits" that global warming is a hoax because they live somewhere it snows is going to make more informed decisions on the subject than someone who just admits they don't understand enough about the subject?

I dont know about the school shooters, but many other mass shooters were also guilty of domestic violence, and people who commit domestic violence generally were also brought up in abusive households:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/identities/2017/1/10/14213164/mass-shooters-gun-violence-domestic-violence


That data doesn't substantiate the claim that mass shooters come from abusive homes.

Kazi1212 posted...
I mean sure, intuitions can be wrong, I dont know about totally irrelevant however. if our intuitions were totally off from reality on a consistent basis, I doubt our intuition would be as critical to living our daily lives. In the absense of evidence, intuition is better than nothing.


Lol, no, that's not at all the case. It's much better in terms of decision making to admit you don't know the answer to a question than to form an arbitrary conclusion based on your subjective beliefs, since you're forced into acting based on what information you do know to be true. Intuition with no form of evidence is objectively worse than nothing.

Im merely asking what you intuitively think is more possible. Im also too lazy to look it up, I mean its your topic, if youre interested enough about these things you should do your own research, Im just throwing my basic thoughts into it. Though from what I read, a lot of mass shooters were also culprits of domestic violence(you can google for this), and people who generally engage in domestic violence also have a higher likelihood of being brought up in abusive homes.


What people think "intuitively" of a subject is irrelevant without actual evidence to back it up, since anyone's arbitrary intuitions are equally valid no matter what they are by the virtue of them being arbitrary.

Do people feel its safe to say mass shootings are part and parcel of living in modern day anerica and should be reacted to appropriately?

No, it is due to piss-poor parenting and shitty schools.


yeah remember how the school shootings in florida and texas were committed by kids from poor single parent households and targeted impoverished inner city schools

Piss-poor parenting can come from any class family so I don't know what argument you are trying to make.


Household income is by far the biggest factor in predicting child rearing outcomes and future success


Perhaps. But that doesnt equate to piss poor parenting.


Lets think of it another way. Do you think any of the mass shooters this year came from a generally normal loving family? I doubt thats the case, I would find it more plausible they come from abusive homes.


Is there any evidence that the majority of school shooters, or even a significant amount of them, came from households with a history of abusive behavior?

Yes. They're basically at this point testing shit for the next GTA. And instead of testing new handling flags internally, they're essentially charging players to do it for them by putting them on overpriced cars.

PS3 managed to recover from an almost as abysmal launch. Xbone could have recovered too, but it's lack of exclusives and the fact that microsoft was no longer ahead of the console market in terms of features (and were in fact behind it in many ways as with games with PS+) meant that they never gave consumers much reason to own their console. Even if they had the greatest launch ever, they almost certainly would have fallen behind by this point.
