The power of priming [LW · GW] is well-known to affect many decisions you make in your life. If you see a briefcase, you will become more business-oriented and more competitive; if you see the phrase 911, you will contemplate terrorism when making political judgments. But as much as priming can affect how you look at things, it becomes even stronger when you're looking for the first time.

We are in 2020 right now and everybody who kept up knows that most priming research didn't replicate. 

And MWI, Bayes and Timelessness are associated with rationalist contrarianism.

I wonder if it has something to do with age-related hearing loss. I remember when I was a teen, rock music sounded like antimelodic screeching to me too, but I listened because my friends liked it, and I liked the lyrics. Now the same songs sound like legit music to me. Maybe it's because our hearing range shrinks with age, so the high-pitched sounds become quieter and the song doesn't sound like screeching anymore.
