If people feel they have been deceived, you would expect them to become more skeptical, no?
Instead, many believe random shit they read online. No numbers, no data, no evidence, no references, no studies, just utter fucking bullshit and an AI-generated image.
That is the opposite of skepticism: those people are incredibly easy to persuade, require no evidence whatsoever. How are they so gullible? How are they so credulous? Why do they require no evidence whatsoever that those "answers" are true?
