One of the studies that failed to replicate in this excellent new replication audit (“Poverty Impedes Cognitive Function”, published in Science in 2013) has itself been cited 2,295 times. No big deal I’m sure! https://www.pnas.org/content/118/44/e2103313118

People who were neutral on BLM were pulled into both support and opposition when St. Floyd died (more support)
Since then, "neutral" is unchanged, but the balance between "oppose" and "support" has flipped
In the longer run, Floyd brought people off the fence and *against BLM* https://twitter.com/GabeGuidarini/status/1453746090440810498

A lot of people aren’t really aware of how much implicit bias is involved in what you see reported. Biased samples can still be valuable, but if you stick with the assumption that they are evenly distributed around “the truth”, your mental model will be pretty far off. https://twitter.com/palmerluckey/status/1452753156895506433
If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.
