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)More about this quote: wist.info/hoffer-eric/11263/

This ‘study’ had me amused. I fear that the people doing the work are starting from a somewhat odd perspective and assuming ‘knowing’ deception. But then that is how ‘The Matrix’ snuck up on us (well Sarah Connor anyway)

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
To be of no church is dangerous. Religion, of which the rewards are distant, and which is animated only by faith and hope, will glide by degrees out of the mind unless it be invigorated and reimpressed by external ordinances, by stated calls to worship, and the salutary influence of example.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, “Milton” (1781)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/johnson-samuel/21120…

#Zoomposium with Dr. #Patrick #Krauß: Building instructions for #artificial #consciousness
Transferring the various stages of Damasio's theory of consciousness 1:1 into concrete #schematics for #deep #learning. To this end, strategies such as #feed-forward connections, #recurrent #connections in the form of #reinforcement learning and #unsupervised learning are used to simulate the #biological #processes of the #neuronal #networks.

Dear Friends of Truth and lies,🦞
As you may know, lies are called Truth by some.
For example:
- People who 'lie for Jesus' use the #Mastodon powered (the software is free to use by anyone) Truth #social madia.
- If we say something it does not become true because of imagined, stolen or appropriated status. :ablobcatcoffee:
- Even if we think outside the box, we end in one...🦋
In other words, like #minded idiots propagate idiot #reinforcement. #Surprising? Not really...
#Imagine (if you can) that everything you may think, know and #experience is #flawed? Too hard, too #dangerous?
Ah ha! You are one of the self-styled #geniuses, who are always right about everything? I would join you but am wrong, #misinformed and unwilling to be #deprogrammed. Mmm...Maybe I could try a little...🕊️ -
