    I wasn't actually saying confirmation bias is part of the response pattern, but that we evaluate that pattern of responses through various biased lenses -- i.e., we impose pattern, we do not detect it.

    So if you are hung up on a certain narrative, say, "no good deed goes unpunished," you can find hundreds of such cases in history. That's not because the narrative is real, it's because you can find hundreds of examples of ANYTHING in history. One could construct an internally-consistent theory of human nature based on any hypothesis in this scholarly collection.

    People privilege the particular view of humanity that was poured into their little head at birth. But all narratives are themselves human creations. They aren't real. Generalized sociologies, like religions, are strictly for entertainment.

      By evoke, I meant the phrases evoke memories and associations for me. But I think you saw that.

        Actually, I didn't. I read evoke as invoke.

              If I could make it simpler I would. Smart people have complex thoughts but really smart people are able to express them clearly. A second-rate first-rate mind and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee in this town.

                        Was it actually a team policy to show that crap? I assumed some Pepe Patriot stopped fondling his guns/daughter long enough to cut some footage in Tyler Durden style to make his own little intellectual point.

                        If the team actually sponsored that and was proud of it they might as well hold a Nazi Night (first hundred fans get a lampshade).

                          The first story I heard was some staffer grabbed it off of You Tube without watching through the whole video. I find that pretty hard to believe...

                            That seems... unlikely.

                            But if it's the team / ownership there would be a pattern. Knucks can't help themselves; they are aggressively stupid.

                              They haven’t said. They just issued a blanket generic apology. And certainly not holding anyone responsible
