@spacelizard I assume some sort of EQ mount was at play too?

"Climate change is arguably one of the greatest challenges today. Although the scientific consensus is that human activities caused climate change, a substantial part of the population downplays or denies human responsibility. In this registered report, we present causal evidence on a potential explanation for this discrepancy: motivated reasoning."

@the_Effekt thanks. Lots of progress so far.
Over the recent months, in the context of #feminicides and other everyday #violence, I'm starting to more and more think that #patriarchy is not the cause. It's just the tip of the iceberg. It's the widespread #detachment that just makes us not care about any signs of social problems around us... until these problems enter the always-hungry-for-sensations news cycle. But I'm struggling to find how to operationalise, measure and underline this hypothesis.
