From Duke Today:
A new study from Duke University finds that people will evaluate scientific evidence based on whether they view its policy implications as politically desirable...
“The goal was to test, in a scientifically controlled manner, the question: Does the desirability of a solution affect beliefs in the existence of the associated problem? In other words, does what we call 'solution aversion' exist?" Campbell said.
"We found the answer is yes..."
And that would be one of the reasons civilizations die from suicide.
