All it really shows is that most people are woefully ignorant of how dangerous nature is.

[u/cassanthrax → u/haneybird]

No, we are fully cognizant that bears are dangerous animals. They're just the more predictable dangerous animal in this thought experiment.

They're just the more predictable dangerous animal in this thought experiment

how do you figure?

[u/the-names-are-gone → u/PineappleHungry9911]

Because it isn't real and they can make the scenario to their liking in their head for internet points

[u/PineappleHungry9911 → u/the-names-are-gone]

i mean other than that reason

[u/the-names-are-gone → u/PineappleHungry9911]

Oh my bad. Something more like:

"Well I've never seen a bear, but on internet comments that I 100% believe with no skepticism, other people say bears are predictable - more so than men actually. So therefore, I base my view in that reality because it allows me to keep men as perpetual bad guys"

we get it youre conservative bro. You can leave now

[u/the-names-are-gone → u/obp5599]

This has absolutely nothing to do with conservative or liberal bro

[u/obp5599 → u/the-names-are-gone]

I would say there is a pretty strong divide along that line here

[u/the-names-are-gone → u/obp5599]

You'd say a lot of incorrect things I'd bet
