Worrywarts and Their Grand Statistical Masquerade
14 hours ago Charles Rotter 

Ah, another study in the well-worn genre of “Let’s Dress Up Emotional Hand-Wringing as Science.” In Worry’s Clout: Concern, not positive affectivity, drives climate activism, Bechtoldt and Schermelleh-Engel give us an exquisite specimen of a paper that would make even the most devout doom-prophet weep with joy. This isn’t science; it’s a therapeutic validation session masquerading as empirical research.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
