Jesus, the comments here are abysmal from what I can tell.

I'm no doomer, but we need to do something about this, even on the grassroots level.

Something I find fascinating is that being consistent (and trustworthy) is less effective than being 80/20% consistent (classical vs operant conditioning) at training dogs where there are contextual/environmental cues at play. It's personally counter-intuitive, but I've seen it work and am convinced (I attribute it to evolutionary mechanisms, my goto in biology).

I'm wondering what other psychology as a science results have solid statistics behind them that I'm unaware of (I'm compsci with a physics/maths background, so it's probably most), and are interesting...

It's a bit old but the shape and the city name were so funny that I couldn't not post it XD
