@bullfranx @Sander_vdLinden Spot on, Bill!

@barbarikon @Sander_vdLinden Agreed. It can also get confused between "screen out falsehood" and "screen out stuff that I view as false." The former is a good rule, the latter, not so much...

We are thrilled to share that our theoretical paper "Do Minds Have Immune Systems?" by @DrAndyNo @LukeeJo & @Sander_vdLinden has been published in the @APA's Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology. https://t.co/0ZQgg0NyyA #OpenAccess

For some people, the idea of mental immunity makes them uncomfortable. The analogies we use make them think about vaccine mandates & top-down control of information. The fact is that improving your mental immunity is your own choice, we're just here to help you do so.
