>IF WE’RE SO STUPID HOW COME WE’RE STILL HERE

Well that went full circle faster than expected. We could be living on 1-2 other planets and 3-4 moons. We're not, because we're stupid. We're still here dealing with every other stupid human and animal. Conflating a mere 300,000 years of survival as proof of not being stupid is what I would expect from.. stupid people.

From the article: "One of psychology's main exports is cognitive biases." Cf. with Dr. Ariely's and his student's research being completely discredited due to the evidence just being made up.
