I predict a negative correlation btw counterintuitive & replication success (mediated by weaker methods in original)

and perhaps the most surprising results are those that propose simple, easy solutions with long term effects.

Was thinking (speculating) that psych that can be turned into "life hacks" is just more commercial. Can sell books...

that and scientists do (I think altruistically) want to help people live better. And maybe there's a bias there.

I do think we're an optimistic & prosocial bunch. Combine w/ confirmation & publication bias => new meaning to 'false positive'
