The basic problem is we are hardwired for this...
Proof???
Ok...
When You look at something you have seen often, say a pill bottle...
Now before You can read the text,
Your mind has told You what it says...
Ever notice that?
Works the same way with B.S.
If You get a piece of something, and You want to believe something, your mind will fill in the rest...
The reason why trump gets away with it is 1. He gets away with everything
he is only telling them what they already wanted to hear,
he knows his audience, "well".
If you're trying to say we're all suffering from cognitive bias, I agree; it's much easier to believe that which confirms our own world-view. But if you're saying that we're therefore "hardwired" to believe BS, I'd have to disagree; if that were true, you and I wouldn't be having this conversation ;-) And I must admit that I don't really get the pill-bottle example...
Howdy!
I was thinking this...
With the pill bottle, I'll use something else...
A BIC lighter has the company address (in US) as Shelton CT.
This is in rather small print...
Now if You have looked at these a lot.. And You look at one now, your mind will tell you Shelton CT., Before you read it.
Works the same way with people who want to believe B.S...
If you say something to them,
They are hard wired, and their mind will see B.S. and fill in some B.S. blanks, before they get any information,
Also if Your saying garbage they want to hear they will even embellish it, even though none if this may be true.
About our conversations...
Well it is like this sadly...
Mist "humans" do not think about "reality", at all.
Be it political, or esoteric, too dangerous!
Much safer to think about job, family, car payment, etc...
But not to question anything,
It is something they feel only the very reckless do...
Thanks again,
Have an Awesome Mid-Week!

Negative attention is just as valuable (if not more valuable, more infectious) than Positive attention.
The big players don't care if you love their proposals or hate their proposals, they only care if you're thinking and speaking about their proposals. They control the CONVERSATION (and the parameters of that conversation). Don't bother considering historical context or looking for PRIMARY AXIOMS, just focus on THE HEADLINE OF THE WEEK.
It's just like children.
Often a child will misbehave repeatedly, simply to get a larger share of their parent's ATTENTION.
Even when they are severely punished.
Meanwhile, the "good kid" gets nearly zero "mentions".
THE CORPORATE MOBSTERS SHOULD BE PAYING US TO EXPERIENCE THEIR PROPAGANDA.

An excellent video, and yout text @zyx066. While the psychological basis for this phenomenon is known…
…it should be added that infantilization of the population, and making fun out of truth, was the basis for the creation of a matrix of lies:
Excellent addition @lighteye! Love both the cartoons ;-) 😂 🤣
Who knew Bart was an anti-vaxer?
It's just a flu shot!

That's why it's so amazing when someone is skeptical of "good news".
True scientific skepticism in 9 minutes,
We're fighting an ATTENTION WAR.
The rules are sometimes counter-intuitive.
ATTENTION is the only currency.
Negative attention is just as valuable (if not more valuable, more infectious) than Positive attention.
