My twitter followers are obvs not a representative sample of the population, I am VIVIDLY AWARE OF THIS i am not an idiot. They tend to be male, white, 25-35yo, disproportionately libertarian (and otherwise politically split), living in mostly the US.

There's another possibility -- when you ask two questions together, you may get a disproportionate interest in answering in the way that ties them together by people who believe the two things are connected and want to tell the world through your survey.

Yes, true! I also often test this explicitly by asking questions together, and then also separate (at different times) to see if total % clusters are different.

Counterpoint, you have extremely uneven demographics following you in several categories from belief structure to gender to race. So this is not a robust survey with regards to a reflection of the general public.

Rarely do people take the time to think before reacting… so most often they are not providing anything of value… kind of like this response… except sometimes it may elicit a new position or thought for you

If you think that you need people to think to get information from them, you probably didn't think

I wonder if people make this critique because they see science as a ritual(that is spoiled by imperfection) and not a process. To bless the question with science it must be given to overeager 19 yr old psych students. But if given on Twitter while Mars is rising it doesn't count

Like the thread, thanks. How about hypothesis that people who are into BDSM and more likely to interpret and admit abuse in their childhood? Cuz they possibly already got the admitting unpopular truths about themselves part? Or cuz they more often went to therapy?

I really think such polls collect some data and respect you for continuing in public.

I couldn't do that not because it's worthless but because I'm weaker than my perfectionism and fear of that same critics.
