The primary weakness of this paper is its complete reliance on two extremely small and poorly-designed studies. The first was performed on Reddit with n = 194 Redditors who self-reported how healthy they were on a 9 point scale, how liberal/conservative they felt on a 9 point scale, and answered a series of questions to establish a personal responsibility score (PRS). The second was performed with n = 204 local students, mostly teenagers, recruited based on political party affiliation, whose healthiness was established only by how often they claimed to take the stairs.
You should be able to identify at least 6 major design flaws in the studies above, but in short the researcher not only failed to prevent but seemingly employed predictable biases, especially in regards to his measures of health, which were entirely self-reported. It should go without saying but: just because some group of people tend to consider themselves better than others in some respect does not actually make it so, yet that is precisely what this paper says.
As to contrary evidence: you typically won’t find a paper published in any serious journal whose thesis is so close to “ideology A is better.” Eschewing scholarly impartiality on politically charged topics is generally frowned upon. Doing so in exchange for publishing and/or favor with wealthy patrons has always been possible, and while increasingly prevalent in recent years, it is primarily the realm of conservative academics if only because it causes a greater stir (shares, citations, impact factor). Even using the loaded phrase “personal responsibility” in a political context, and equating it to the term used in health literature, marks this as a rather obvious insider piece not subject to the typical quality controls. So, it’s unlikely you will easily find an equivalently obnoxious antithesis like “conservatives are less fit,” “liberals have better dental hygiene,” or what have you. But does that mean conservatives are healthier?
No. We can confirm this a variety of ways, since exposure to any social science will routinely surround you with high quality evidence to the contrary, but here is where I would start:
Edit: review from adjacent thread
There are some shenanigans in this paper so far, like using regional statistics (conservative places) to generalize about very particular sociopolitical cleavages (conservative ideology) and failure to control for, or even acknowledge, more obvious independent variables such as local economy, infrastructure, and socioeconomics.
This is the joke. Absurdist hyperbole only works with a shared assumption or common sense to play against.
If there’s an intended target of this joke, it’s definitely not medication. It would be the inscrutability of the wording of that clinical guideline, which seems to imply morality is divergent but can be cured with stimulants.
The trick is to save many jars, so you can really go out in style.
Ah! Been there. Allocating lanes on small systems always seems to have more trial and error than I expect.

That watermark is jarringly prominent. It looks like a copyright symbol or Creative Commons badge but since it’s visible from space, it must be Comedy Central.
In case you’re actually interested, NB as an umbrella term is pointedly not restrictive.
A common misconception is that it’s the traditional third-option to M/F, like neuter or gender-neutral, but it’s usually more about flouting the rules of gender than avoiding gender expression entirely.
For example, I’m gender non-conformist, a type of non-binary. I tend to borrow gender expression indiscriminately and switch it up when it gets boring. Subtle forms of gender rebellion are my cup of tea, but I don’t care about pronouns, as long as it’s clear you’re referring to me, and I never changed my name (tbf, I got lucky with a unisex name). In short, you can’t really misgender me.
So yes, in theory Yakko can easily be the NB Warner Brother. He could just wear dresses or makeup in some episodes and be considered demonstrably NB, but even that isn’t a strict requirement.
Or the opposite. “Howdy! Need directions? i just cleaned the grill and that clicking sound is the boot on your passenger-side CV joint.”

Honestly, non-zero chance of impressing many of the women in my social sphere. Might as well do some math together. See what happens.

Heard some buzz and have been meaning to read up. The speech service has been the primary puzzle piece binding me to proprietary systems, but if it’s time it’s time.

Shit, have I been misinterpreting “Bicycle” this whole time?
