A broken clock is right twice a day.

The reason so many people fall to conspiracy theorists and influencers’s feet is because there is no cost to making predictions and people only remember the things that come true.

As a nutjob conspiracy idiot head, you only to be right a few times to gain credibility. Go ahead and spew a bunch of nonsense 24/7 and if you’re intelligent, you’ll land a few correctly. If you produce your own media and say controversial dumb things all the time, you’ll garner attention and cult-like following.

The same is true of every influencer who fools people by making predictions 24/7. The intelligent ones get a few right and people fall at their feet. There is no cost to being wrong as nobody goes through their record to see what they got wrong. Even when their blatant nonsense is called out, the things they get right get way more attention.

In the end a broken clock is right twice a day, but it’s still broken.

In clownworld the reality is stranger than fiction. In last three years reasonable hypothesis were the “conspiracy theories” like everything the machine had to sway us from. 6 months for conspiracy to become a known fact, i dont make the rules reality is stupid cuz fiat system fucked everything.

strengths perspective, when we are using our strengths, we are more engaged and energized. Weakness might be informative and insightful, but it is insufficient to change because you don’t focus on what the person should be doing instead. Above all, weaknesses can trigger negativity bias. Our brain is more prone to remember negative situations.

The night is dark and full of terror but the day is bright and future is beautiful.

Unfortunately, the so-called conspiracy theories have been mostly right over the last decade.

You didn’t read my note

“Mostly right” 1 of 100 claims is probably what people consider “mostly” and really depends on the claim lol

HoloKat 2y ago

Thing is, even the loyal followers mostly only hear / read about the things that came to be true and have no idea about the 99 that were total bs. Very easy to be right this way.

Neopatriarch 2y ago

I certainly did, and now I've reread it. I thought perhaps I missed something.

Unfortunately, the State uses the term to discredit people telling the truth, and rarely call out lies.

Perhaps your point might have been more soundly made had you listed false conspiracies you claim are, were ignored.

What's to stop someone backdating nostr notes/events and distributing them "again"?

It would be an easy way to garner credibility as a bit of a Nostradamus.

HoloKat 2y ago

Nothing stops anyone doing the same now with tweets by manipulating screenshots

Brisket 2y ago

I figure everyone knows how easy it is to manipulate a screenshot.

A signed nostr note (especially with the correct block height) is probably going to fool a lot more people.
