88% of students lie on their beliefs, and they deceived Hollywood to make terrible films

Student researchers nearly 1,500 students in two eminent American universities displayed bomb statistics on the Internet this week. They say that 88% of students lie on progressive beliefs.
The researchers Forest Romm and Kevin Waldman, who claim to have no political affiliation themselves, asked the participants: “Have you ever pretended to have more progressive opinions that you are really about to succeed socially or academically?” 88% of college students said yes.
Romm and Waldeman have not yet published their full results. However, they explain that this large -scale lie on beliefs results from the regulation of institutionalized identity in the university system.
Translated from academic speak, what it means is that if you tell children that they will be ostracized and victims of discrimination to have bad opinion, then they will probably lie about their opinions.
This should be a big problem for Hollywood, because all major studios have spent billions of dollars in recent years, the creation of entertainment adheres to progressive ideology. Although they can claim that they have worked activist messages in their films for altruistic reasons, the truth is that they did it because they thought it was what young people wanted. They thought that is what the young people said they wanted.
But no one showed up, and Hollywood’s progressive messaging blockbusters as Wonders have largely failed. Now we know why these new action figures Rey Skywalker never seem to sell in Target. It is because people were in a hurry to lie about wanting them.
This phenomenon of dishonesty is not only limited to the behavior of students during the head with things like gender ideology. This is the norm in the private religious school that my children frequent (public schools are unusable here), for example, where non -religious children of all ages regularly lie about to love Jesus to obtain good grades. This is also what happens when everyone at work tells your boss that he is a genius, even if you all know that he is an idiot.
This is something that I am particularly qualified to analyze. I was raised as Jehovah’s witness, a religion of Christian burst in the shape of worship in which dissidents are humiliated and ostracized. At the beginning of my twenties, I realized that I wanted to leave, but I continued to have him for years because I knew that all those I loved cut me. Finally, I decided to tell my best friend the truth. It was one of the most scary things I have ever done.
I shed my heart, telling him everything I really thought, and when I finished, he said: “Me too.” For years, we had been monthly, pretending to believe something stupid by the well -founded fear that our friendship would only end if we were telling the truth.
Now the company as a whole has become an authoritarian cult. So, for years, the conversations in which people lie, just like that, take place all over the world. Absolutely for fear that the person you are talking about can be part of a group which, in fact, represents only 12% of the population.
It is the most fundamental imaginable human behavior, which is why it is weird that it was not already easy for expert forecasters in Hollywood. They were duped, so we suffered from a decade of bad writing according to the push of a message that no one really wanted.
In the end, I abandoned religion and I became an atheist. No one I knew at the time, apart from my friend, never told me again. It was worth it.
If telling the truth will give us good films, it is also worth it.
