@Chris_Liss That's not evil, that's just being human. It's a blind spot. People can't see what they can't see. It's a blindspot. Even when you optimize for accuracy over the narratives you recognize, you still end up fighting the impulse to simply believe what you prefer. It's wired into us
@MyMindsAwol@baba_Omoloro What about the opposite idea of quantum immortality? Where you never die and even if you did, you shift to another timeline. That near miss of a vehicle that stuck out to you? You possibly died and shifted here.
@TimBenzPGH Journalism is really a propaganda arm of whichever cause they support. It's true no matter what cause it may be. Journalism may have been about accountability at some point but no longer.
@MichaelSalfino You're discounting the cultural importance of saves. People place a greater emphasis on them than deserved. People aren't rational actors.
@TheGlobeofRiley@newstart_2024 No, the fundamental nature of humans is to prevent the other tribe from winning. Anti-western forces found out how to use bots to use propaganda to make westerners into flat earthers and science haters. They know which politicians to fund. They know how to stall the best research
@TommyLavinTST@Cowpat_No_9 No one has ever voted against their self interest it's impossible. It's more likely you assume you know peoples best interests.
@MichaelSalfino Over 57 million people voted for Trump. You weren't able to reason and convert maga types because you talked down on them instead of meeting them where they're at. Shame isn't an effective way to change hearts and minds.
@ctmbaseball I don't usually have a reason to disagree with you. In this case, just because you can't see the benefit of something doesn't mean it's not there. It's highly likely there's an indirect benefit, even if it's just that Ukraine is a front in a greater conflict.
@JohnTheBaptizt@thatallencovert@ergonoatia@charlie_wally@tatertotsconor He wasn't defending skinheads. He literally said so. You can say you don't believe him, and that's fine, but your credibility is shot if you're going to tell someone that they are telling you something contradicting what they stated. You even said yourself, " SEEM"
