Dunite posted:I'm curious with the way some audiophiles display a blind ignorance to a well presented argument. I think the audiophile phenomena has very little to do with logic and most everything to do with emotion. There is a lot of good research about the power of confirmation bias (people trust things they already believe to be true and disregard opposing views), so rational argumentation will never be received well. Especially when people get together and reinforce their stupid ideas. Combined that with studies that show people enjoy things more simply because they are more expensive (when people taste test wine, if researchers tell them that one sample is more expensive --even if they are actually the same wine-- people will report that it tastes better). And no one likes to be wrong, especially when being wrong would mean that they have wasted a shitload of money. I'm trying to think of some kind of interference that I could market with pseudoscience that I could sell to audiophiles. Seems like a great opportunity to take money from old rich assholes. Maybe long waves from geothermal activity? Solar flares?
