Brooks wrote in his article ''Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being'': "A 2012 survey conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University asked a sample of Americans about their news-consumption habits, and quizzed them about U.S. and international political and economic events. They found that those watching the most partisan television news sources—on both the [[leftism|left]] and the [[right-wing|right]]—were often less knowledgeable about world events than those who consumed no news at all."<ref>[https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/10/reading-too-much-political-news-bad-happiness/616651/ Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being] by Arthur C.

::Cognitive flexibility is the ability to adapt our behaviour and thinking in response to the environment. When people are asked to think about multiple concepts simultaneously or change their approach to solving a problem, they need to demonstrate flexible thinking.  At RationalWiki, there is not a lot of cognitive flexibility.[https://www.foothillsacademy.org/community-services/parent-education/parent-articles/cognitive-flexibility#:~:text=Cognitive%20flexibility%20is%20the%20ability,need%20to%20demonstrate%20flexible%20thinking.]

::Here is an example of RW's cognitive inflexibility. I have an IQ in medical doctors range based on my college entrance example, my chess ranking of 2100, etc.  But over and over I hear at RW how I am not that smart. Why? It is because of ideological tribality. Recently, I helped a website achieve the 7th highest traffic gain amount in the English speaking world in terms of monthly web visits traffic increase. The website now receives around 3.5 million extra monthly visits. A dumb person couldn't do that.

::Consider the Stroop Color–Word Test. It is a measure of executive function that measure selective attention and cognitive flexibility. When I have taken the test, I have no problems. I speculate that political ideologues score lower on the Stroop Color-Word Test. I say that half in jest, but it might be true.
