So they did a study on "gut feelings"... turns out you're dumb,.

Who would of thought.

The study found that people who trust their gut feelins vs actual facts are usually wrong and will often double down after being proven wrong. Oh gee which group of people could that be????

People who tend to trust their intuition or to believe that the facts they hear are politically biased are more likely to stand behind inaccurate beliefs, a new study suggests.

And those who rely on concrete evidence to form their beliefs are less likely to have misperceptions about high-profile scientific and political issues, said Kelly Garrett, the lead researcher and a professor of communication at The Ohio State University
