I had to tell my guy today who keeps calling Putin a POS
“Baby, you’re listing to the same media that up until last week was pushing COVID down our throats that Putin is bad guy, why do you think they’ve suddenly stopped lying when it comes to this?” (he’s super conservative but isn’t seeing the forest through the trees on this)
That's why it's important to look at every data point we receive from as many perspectives as possible. If you assume they're all lies we may miss something. If we assume they're all true then we're fucking retarded. Reality lies somewhere in the middle in most cases. Narratives are like currency. They only function as long as there is a belief in them.
You all have my blessing to steal my content all day and all night. It's hard to be impartial and not let our bias shape our reality. Even the most self aware people will still do hypocritical things. I'm still on mobile so it's a pain in the ass to post. I realized that knolls law thing a long time ago when I first got introduced to Reddit. Sharing content I'd come across with people familiar with that industry would often times result in them debunking it and completely countering the top comments from the thread. Then I found myself believing the very next thread as if it wasn't the same approved narrative of the day allowed to reach the front page.

Oh man that's the worst. I wince whenever someone who's mostly awake slip right back into the matrix
It's called Knoll’s law of media accuracy

That would do well to be its own post
