@arstechnica@mastodon.social These stories fascinate me. It's amazing how easily some people can be steered in bad directions.

@mlanger@mastodon.world @arstechnica@mastodon.social They are fascinating but it also speaks to the malleability of the human mind, it can see things that don't exist and is easily fooled by plausible enough things. The shape of things is all it needs to realise that thing so it's smart when it has to be objective and rational but irrepressibly gullible when it comes to things that it simply wants to believe in.

@nini@oldbytes.space @arstechnica@mastodon.social People are lazy and don't want to double-check. It'll be the end of us. The inability to think critically and check sources for claims are contributing factors to the disastrous timeline we're living in now. That and the fact that half of American are either idiots, gullible, hateful, or a combination of these things.
