Of course anti-American Tucker Carlson is going to be interviewing Viktor Bout, the "Merchant of Death."
He was convicted on terrorism-related charges, including conspiracy to kill Americans.
America First though, right @TuckerCarlson?
The hubris of midwits leads them to believe that pattern recognition itself is a sign of high intelligence— it is not; most animals can recognize patterns.
What marks high intelligence is:
1. The understanding that patterns can be illusory cognitive constructs; an evolutionary tendency for the brain to impose order where there is none in order to make sense of its environment.
2. The metacognitive ability to understand that you possess these evolutionary neurological predispositions, and to apply skills of higher brain functions — skepticism and critical analysis — against any perceived patterns you observe.
The less intellectually disciplined the mind, the more readily it mistakes a perceived pattern for a profound insight. It leaps from observation to explanation without first asking whether the pattern is genuine, meaningful, or merely the brain imposing order on randomness.
Like someone who sees faces in clouds or hears hidden messages in random noise, they mistake the brain’s tendency to impose meaning for evidence that meaning actually exists.
@pynyckl@xQwirk I'm sure they'll instantly exonerate Tyler when they hear Candace say Charlie communicated with her from beyond the grave and told her it was Israel and Zionists and that Tyler is innocent.
@pynyckl@xQwirk You haven't even proven your claims at correct. You just do a "trust me, bro. I verified them myself" without proving it.
"I don't have to prove my claims are correct. You have to prove them wrong" -Pynyckl
@pynyckl@xQwirk You treat an unproven accusation as a self-evident truth to build your question upon... thus, begging the question as a logical fallacy. You're using the colloquial expression as a shield to hide the fact you're actually begging the question concerning my motives
@pynyckl@xQwirk@grok and willingly sat down for an interview with an official Kremlin-funded network. One was a target of Russian propaganda; the other chose to be a participant.
@pynyckl@xQwirk@grok There is a massive difference between unwitting amplification and voluntary collaboration.
Charlie Kirk's words were secretly clipped and weaponized by Russian bots without his knowledge or consent.
Candace Owens knowingly bought a plane ticket, traveled to St. Petersburg...
