    How many of them oppose building them anywhere?

    I want to know how much of this is recognition that the data centers’ purpose is somewhere between useless and actively evil, vs. how much of it is good ol’ fashioned NIMBYism.

      I mean it’s proven that 10-20% of people taking a survey will always pick the worst option just because they’re not paying attention or because they’re assholes. Removing 15% from each end and then recalculating gives a much better idea of what real people think.

Welcome to c/sociology!

Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. In simple words sociology is the scientific study of society. It uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order and social change. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes and phenomenological method. Subject matter can range from micro-level analyses of society (i.e. of individual interaction and agency) to macro-level analyses (i.e. of social systems and social structure). Read more…
