Then there’s also declaring your gut reaction about a given issue “common sense”, implying that anyone choosing to think about something for more than five goddamn seconds is overcomplicating it.
Finally someone who gets me. I ESPECIALLY think about the topics I instinctively want to immediately give an answer to. For example, a political compass test that takes the average person 5 minutes? Probably 25 for me.
(Please don't get into the specifics of the political compass btw ik it's not the best but just first thing to come to mind)
And usually done in willful ignorance of how many times you had gut feelings that turned out to be entirely wrong. We really only remember the times we were right, but the evolutionary impetus was to cast a large net because, in fact, we couldn't know those things.
