No one has time to research everything deeply for themselves. What the COVID example did for me was change my default assumption when ingesting "news" from mainstream sources from "probably true" to "probably bushit". If the thing is important to my own life, I'll look into it more deeply, if not, it stays in the " probably bullshit" category.

Once you change this default assumption/prior, it also flips the things you heard in the past to "probably bullshit", which you would have to research deeply to overcome if they are in fact true.

COVID was bio-engineered alongside bioweapon research by US and China jointly. The vaccines were not effective because the virus mutated too quickly. And they were never safe because safe means that we know more about the vaccine effects than we could possibly have known.

My post is just reminding everybody that a long series of lies and deception and bad behavior from the institutions still doesn't absolve you of the need to actually research and find out what is true, on each and every point. You still don't get to jump to conclusions just because it fits a pattern.

I often encounter people who reject everything that the "mainstream" is telling them. They do this because humans are partly pattern machines. We see a pattern and extrapolate it. So if the "mainstream" lies over and over, it's tempting to just believe everything they say is a lie.

But the reason all you hear from mainstream are the lies and the evil is primarily that your input feed is curated to bias for such things. You are being focused onto things that are not representative. Making statistical inferences like "it's all lies" is actually a bad inference because it is only your feed that is all lies.

Sure, there is enough data to day that Biden is probably guilty of corruption. But you should also leave room for doubt. Maybe Ray Epps wasn't an FBI agent.

Case in point is global warming. IIn fact, that is my litmus test. People who say the whole thing is a scam to have an excuse for world government socialism... they have this thinking problem. They are the ones who cannot actually find truth because they are relying on simple statistical patterns that don't represent reality, rather than going and looking for themselves at actual evidence. They are also the most confident and comfortable in their ignorance, which makes total sense. If they weren't comfortable in their ignorance, they might have discovered the truth. This is probably the underlying cause of the Dunning-Krueger effect.

The world is complex. Simple answers are probably wrong. Epstein might have killed himself. Steel does soften and lose structural holding ability well below it's melting point. The UFO pictures are probably reflections or other artifacts. Most people are not malicious. But many people are highly deluded. And the global mean temperature is increasing primarily due to more CO2 being in the atmosphere than ever before.

Feel free to disagree but this is not a thread I want to have arguments in. This is just a thought I wanted to put out there. And agree or disagree, I'll keep working to make gossip the best nostr client I can make it.

Gm #coffeechain, feeling weirdly pleased with news from the UK government that they may rethinking too many “green” targets and my steak can stay on the menu. Have a great one.

I don't have these settings on iOS.

My phone just started blaring a super loud siren-like noise from nowhere....

It was a test of the Italian emergency broadcast system.

I had no idea that they had to power to push a message with a max volume alarm to my phone (it was on silent).

WTF!? 🤬

For Bitcoin its only 12 years

Polen habe mit der Auslieferung von Ukrainern im wehrfähigen Alter begonnen.

Der Flüchtlingsstatus wird hiermit aufgehoben.

Die Zahl der ukrainischen Männer in Polen sind eine „wichtige Zahl“ für Kiew seien, weil diese Menschen in die Streitkräfte mobilisiert werden könnten.

Das müssen diese europäischen Werte sein von denen die immer reden.

Uh oh wake me up when gold gets out of its 15 year bear market
