In an age already beset by rampant misinformation and personality-driven realities imposed upon large segments of the global population, come new studies that show why finding the truth can be so hard.

cutworm,

This is profoundly true!  The masses are being manipulated by gate keepers and entities who take advantage of the many cognitive biases we humans have.

Illusory truth effectA tendency to believe that a statement is true if it is easier to process, or if it has been stated multiple times, regardless of its actual veracity. These are specific cases of truthiness.

Actually, I noticed another one with brainwash:


Want to hear a rich genius talk blatant, anti science ignorance?  Bill Gates gets an F in science. Radical left has taken over teaching at almost every college. More on brainwashing. AOC and her climate religion cult. They use scary words but no data because the data shows them wrong. I show the data. November 2019

And of course, then there's Greta.....the quintessential example of brainwashing, using propaganda and climate religion and her as their climate high priestess:

What the "Climate Crisis" is really all about:   Greta Thunberg is a Marxist. Climate religion(fake climate emergency) and the propaganda is all about converting us to global socialism.  December 2019
