Why is it that carbocations are more stable due to electron-donating alkyl groups, but conjugate bases are less stable due to the same alkyl groups? Conjugate bases of acids are more stable with inductive effects instead (electron withdrawing groups), making the acid more stronger.
I don't get this opposite relationship in this case.
