I think shifting the focus to “adequate power” and stuff like that (rather than the abstract noun wrangling/magic trick issue) is clever of them - I’ve been trying to explain the heart of the problem for a year and it’s really hard, they will probably win!

I think their goals are to 1) get people to stop using the term “social priming” because it’s a slur now, and 2) get people to stop trying to replicate experiments and making them look bad

But is there a there there? Or pure noise? Like, it’s a seductive thesis. I’d at least like the seductiveness explained. Like there are theories of why we make up gods. Is priming a religious type belief?

idk I find it amazing that people still find it plausible, when that was literally me not long ago - I think it’s kind of an aesthetic thing, maybe religion is too
