right… this kind of thinking feels solid, but its not.
think of it like this
(what you don’t know) > (what you do know)
and
(number of secrets you are clueless about) > (number of secrets you have heard about)
there are some people who will literally say to you that what you are saying must not be true, because if it was true, he would have heard about it on TV news
not sure where this idea that people can’t keep secrets comes from, but it seems pervasive among normies.
a normie assumes that because leaks happen, then everything must leak
mistaking his own ignorance of even the mere existence of a secret…
for a sense of being “all knowing”
because i heard 10 rumors, the 90 rumors that i didn’t hear, must not actually exist… because if they did exist, I would’ve heard about them…
The idea comes from people actually not keeping secrets. Weve experienced it plenty.

I know that secrets can be kept, but in order to do so you have to have high levels of trust/loyalty, or the penalty for blabbing is very high.
Just because I don't think those scenarios are likely in Venezuala doesn't mean I think it applies everywhere.
