Talk:Essay: RationalWiki user Andrew5, who leans somewhat politically to the right, is an irritating thorn in the side of politically left-leaning RationalWikians and he is an obsessive, officious, serial liar with bad judgment (who is also a wikiholic) (view source)

::Arthur C. 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.

::Here is info on the User: Conservative account at Conservapedia:
::The User: Conservative account consists of two users/editors.
::Editor 1 of the User: Conservative account is a Bible-believing Protestant who is politically somewhat to the [[right-wing|right]] and slightly [[libertarian]] according to a test taken at the [https://www.politicalcompass.org/ Political Compass website] in April of 2021 (Please see the graph below for the results of the Political Compass test I took in April of 2021.).
::Editor 2 of the User: Conservative account is a political moderate who is an [[ecumenical]] Christian (He attends church services at a Catholic Church and a Protestant church, but somewhat leans towards Catholicism). On social issues such as abortion, he is a social conservative.

::Unlike RationalWiki, I am able to be more objective. I am far more able to look at issues outside an ideological box.
::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.
