I just commented the same thing, but people will eat any meme you throw at them, it's quite shocking. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46384274 One thing that spending time talking to people online has taught me is how often what people say is just mindlessly repeating something they heard somewhere. It's also fantastic how I find your response more persuasive than mine, while using fewer words. Well done. | |

Many people live with partners who end up killing them, although they thought they trusted them. Besides, "Bayes law" is not on your side on this one, it's well-known that "regular people" are over-represented in homicide, and "autistic people" or even "schizophrenic people" are under-represented and are mostly harmless | | |

| ▲ | oulipo2 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | It is, indeed. It's a wrongly-held belief that there is more violent behaviors and crimes from schizophrenic people, etc, but the reverse is true | | |
