tbqh this heuristic has completely changed my worldview since I came across it a few years back. Obviously it's just one paper, but the high N and some good follow-up works have made it into my simplifyin' yardstick of choice.

Ah I missed that detail - thanks a lot!

I am once again tapping the sign to remind readers that people self-sort into one of only 5 categories: win-win optimists, loss-minimizing pessimists, envious non-cooperators, self-sacrificers, and the randomly confused. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Humans display a reduced set of consistent behavioral phenotypes in dyadic gameswww.science.org Lab-in-the-field experiment reveals that humans display a reduced set of consistent behavioral phenotypes in dyadic games.

Forgot to mention that 'envious non-cooperators' is the single largest group at about 30%, and I don't think it's a coincidence that this similar to the percentage of people that are for Trump no matter what he says or does.

I think they're going to notice before that if one of the two candidates changes unless they completely have their head stuck in a bucket. It would be more obvious than (for example) Trump's near-miss the other day.

This is just grandstanding, but then you could say that about the whole paper

These are just true for any similar event, no? - mistaken identities - allegations of coverup - allegations of insider involvement - attribution of responsibility to enemies - suggestion it was faked etc. etc.

Perplexed that you didn't offer a label option of 'independent' when so many people self-identify that way online (very common in recent years among MAGA types who were dissatisfied with the RNC).

I think these polls are kind of useless. Trend changes following an event typically seem to manifest after a week. Right after an event, people are still reacting to it and trying to assess its significance, if any. I met some friends on Friday who were entirely unaware of the whole debate thing.

the convention chooses the nominee. Nobody else has standing. the end.

I think the EV of a change is positive because you get a novelty bump and a (short) honeymoon, and if the replacement hits the ground running and attacks from a new angle daily, that's news. 'people tuning in October' Why are you assuming this would happen in October 🤔

But who doesn't know that Trump is a pathological liar? 'temperamental unfitness' is not some magical phrase that will suddenly lead to a mass epiphany. The problem is that there are tens of millions of assholes. About 1/3 of the population share his views and vote as a bloc.

Trump could die tomorrow and those people would quickly coalesce around someone else. They're assholes, they're densely organized (not least because of the internet), they vote with dollars and guns, and liberals are afraid of taking them on because they might get hurt.
