    What’s the most important belief you hold where the only evidence for it is 1) people’s answers to survey questions and/or 2) people’s behavior in contrived laboratory experiments?

        fyi it was NOT a subtweet of this because note I sent mine first https://twitter.com/johnarnoldfndtn/status/1231707829087690753?s=21 …https://twitter.com/JohnArnoldFndtn/status/1231707829087690753 …

        Since 1979 Gallup has asked people, "In general, how satisfied are you with the way things are going in your personal life at this time?" This year, 90% of people answered "satisfied," the highest ever in the poll's history. Makes it a peculiar time for a political revolution. pic.twitter.com/Q4317141ob

        what evidence do you have that anybody actually forms beliefs on such a basis? I think people mostly form beliefs based on magical thinking, and then decorate them with survey results or lab results. It's a kind of performance art.

        I’m asking about the beliefs - I don’t know what kind of answers I’m going to get yet, or I wouldn’t ask!

        Despite "meta" doubts, I love Richard Wiseman's idea that "luck" is really actually just "being good at noticing weird opportunities". I think my only reason-to-believe is that I heard the "lab story", the behavioral affordances seem harmless, and it is fun to repeat.

        “Happiness is correlated with log(wealth)” comes to mind although it’s support by surveys is largely a function of its phrasing such that it could only be answered by surveys

        Furthermore it’s intended as a response to another interpretation of the same survey-based data, namely that income doesn’t matter after N dollars/year, with N in the range of $70-100k
