Habe jetzt mehrfach den Fake-Screnshot vom angeblichen Trump-Posting mit einem Burger-fressenden 6-fingrigen Soldaten in die Timeline bekommen. 🤦‍♂️

Da habt ihr euch vom eigenen "confirmation bias" hinters Licht führen lassen, Leute.

A quotation from Orwell

The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time; the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1946-03-22), “In Front of Your Nose,” “As I Please” column, Tribune Newspaper

A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

We find what we are looking for. If we are looking for life and love and openness and growth, we are likely to find them. If we are looking for witchcraft and evil, we’ll likely find them, and we may get taken over by them.

Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) American writer
Speech (1983-11-16), “Dare To Be Creative,” Lecture, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

Some systematic background to #conspiracy theories or "#conspiracisms" (Prof. Tyson).

"I think now we’re just well past the point of no return," says Tyson, who teaches an undergraduate class on conspiracy theories ...

"Conspiracy theories thrive especially in environments where #uncertainty, ſfear, or #distrust are rampant ..."

#CognitiveBiases in the #Bible (with Dr. Bart Ehrman)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYfxczHZfgI&list=WL

"The authors of the #NewTestament experienced #cognitivebias like anyone else, and sometimes that shows in the text. Dr. Bart Ehrman joins me to discuss how #attributionbias, #fundamentalattributionerror, and #confirmationbias influenced the writings of the #apostlePaul, the Pastoral #epistles, the New Testament canon, and #biblical interpretation."

I learned that '#feelings' are not a good way to determine what is #true. I learned that #information needed sources to even be considered. #mormontruthcrisis #truthclaims #faith #blindfaith #confirmationbias #elevatedemotion https://wasmormon.org/profile/jean-bodie/ #exmormon
