    Genau das ist der Punkt in fossilen Konzernmedien ✅🔥 - aber leider auch in jeder anderen Medienblase.

    Wir alle (!) neigen dazu, Medien & Personen zu bevorzugen, die unsere vorgefassten Meinungen bestätigen und kognitive Dissonanz abwehren. Diese psychologische Tendenz nennt sich Confirmation Bias, deutsch Bestätigungsfehler.

    Und, ja, der kickt sogar auch hier auf Mastodon…

  3. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    The truth seems to be that propaganda on its own cannot force its way into unwilling minds; neither can it inculcate something wholly new; nor can it keep people persuaded once they have ceased to believe. It penetrates only into minds already open, and rather than instill opinion it articulates and justifies opinions already present in the minds of its recipients. The gifted propagandist brings to a boil ideas and passions already simmering in the minds of his hearers. he echoes their innermost feelings. Where opinion is not coerced, people can be made to believe only in what they already “know.”

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 83 (3.14.83) (1951)

  4. A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

    How dreary to spend your time counting dirty words, but not reading the book. And how revealing of the person who is counting. We do find what we look for.

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

  5. 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

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

    youtube.com/watch?v=YYfxczHZfg

    "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."
