Given the community it was posted in, I assumed good faith. A quick Google of the terms used seemed to point to either someone taking theory too far or I was really missing something.

You can think all you want bud, but you’re not approaching the problem correctly. To get to that low level you gotta get more specific. Also, could just use Google

The answer is that people of any demographic are not homogeneous and will have different beliefs and values. Your question is too high level to go any deeper than that. The rest of the nonsense you’re couching it behind is useless. People are people. Sonder.

I think you’ve got that backwards. “People are different and think different things” is the constant and the rest of what’s you’re drilling into is an attempt to discover the pattern in it.
So let’s go Socratic: why are you asking this?

As a layman who had to look up half that bullshit, I think you’re coming across something much simpler that cant and shouldn’t be solved by one of your theorems: people are different and think different things. With beliefs, there are many truths.

What do you mean by “independent”?

1 petabit is 125000 gigabytes. The article is confusing bytes (B) with bits (b). Doesn’t bode well for accuracy.

Context matters. Always. One person can use a word and it will be not racist, another can use the same term and it will be racist. You should ask the person what they define as “civilized”. Their reasoning is your answer.

- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 10 months ago:
Well, not quite. You’d have to have rights to the land to do that. Else someone could ride up and just take it from you.

So then it’s not worse?

If you do it for side money, you’re only accomplishing that by fucking someone else over. Otherwise you wouldn’t make money.

This isn’t true: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoatzin
… Since Archaeopteryx had three functional claws on each wing, some earlier systematists speculated that the hoatzin was descended from it, because nestling hoatzins have two functional claws on each wing. Modern researchers, however, hypothesize that the young hoatzin’s claws are of more recent origin… A similar trait is seen in turacos, whose nestlings use claws on their wings to climb in trees.
- Comment on At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"? 11 months ago:
2010, simply because of how english works.
If you say 2001 as twenty one, it’s confusing. Same goes all the way up to “twenty nine”.
“Twenty ten” and up, however, starts making sense as a different piece of information and can be used easily.
- Comment on Since cats don't pant like dogs how do they release trapped heat? 1 year ago:
Through their paws for one, and when they lick their coats, the saliva acts like sweat and cools them down as it evaporates. And if it’s really bad, they pant.

- Pay for luxury service
- Service gets more expensive
- Keep paying for service
- Service gets more expensive
- Complain about cost, goto 1
It’s hard to have pity for people who do this, especially if enough people stopped, the service would get cheaper.
