People are trained to accept theories as if they’re evidence, which they’re not | Prof. Harvey Risch

“The universities have by and large trained people not to use their common sense, but to think in theories. ... Until I know for sure with my common sense science and I’ve seen these things happen in real life, I don’t believe in these theories. This is the problem: intellectuals, especially people gone through universities and further academic training believe in theories. These theories are how they make decisions about life. The theories go from absurd to insane, and yet they believe these theories. They do that because in general, these theories have some little seeds of plausibility, so they can rationalize believing in theories, because they sound plausible, even though they’re basically irrational and they don’t deal with natural evidence and so on. But people believe them because they have been psychologically trained to accept theories as if they’re evidence, which they’re not.”

“College students come out of the college/university experience spouting slogans. They’re not reasoning, they’re just recapping slogans that they were brainwashed with. They know when to apply which slogan, they’re good at that, but they have no idea about the validity of those slogans, the evidence for them or lack of evidence, the contrary evidence and all that, because they don’t entertain that. When one questions them about the slogans, they can’t defend themselves and so they censor or they leave, because they don’t have the evidence that they need in order to support that. This goes to current thinking which is the push to remove reasoning from logical behaviors.”
