thank you for making my point
it is JUST as easy to push a narrative if not MORE so with the internet as it is on tv
because i can provide volumes of data and video and audio to supoirt that made up narrative
on tv, there is only so much time
@ManAnimal - I'm sorry, but if I didn't have internet access I would've just assumed that the exploding car stories were true because I'd have NO WAY to fucking fact check it. Someone could fucking tell me the name of the court case, and unless I was in the mood to drive to a fucking California courthouse to personally look at the case file, I would have no fucking way to tell if they were right.
With the internet, you can pull the case file online.
Challenged by what though? Because you have a different opinion that was formed by reading or listening to fringe groups or individuals because you have a lack of trust to a news organization?
because you HAVE no judgement
Soonâ„¢
No judgement?
You mean the judgment to wanna look up a case file?
and you have no judgement because you never had to work in a vaccum
you always had an answer at your finger tips
There is no challenge. There is my side and your side and those sides were formed by opinion. Backed by facts that alone are true but added to a bigger picture don’t clear up anything
No, I didn't. There was a time when the internet wasn't available to me, and I went around like a fucking idiot blindly believing what people told me because I had no way to check for myself.
Now I do, and I'm significantly less retarded as a result.
no, judgment is what allows you to listen to a narrative and pick up on the fact the person isn't being truthful
without having concrete evidence either way
think of it this way: what type of test is harder?
...and what if the TV presenter doesn't know they're being fed a bunch of bullshit?
The TV presenter could be presenting a made up story, while having a completely honest expression on their face and absolutely zero indication that they're lying, because they also think the story is true.
1) an open book test; 2) a closed book test
lol
which is harder?
If you've had the same professors that I've had, then you'd know an open book test is often a bad idea.
They take that as a license to make things super fucking difficult.
you aren't answering
ah, so you understand then
an open book test means they can OVERLOAD you with everythin and anything
and you only have so much time to complete the test
When you have access to information your capabilities are legitimately expanded.
That's what makes the internet so awesome.
follow the metaphor
because you are contradicting yourself
the open book test is harder because you dont know what to focus your studing on
My professors asked me to do more, because they knew we could if the book was in front of us.
For those of us who already knew the material well enough for a closed book test, it threw a wrench into everything.
with a close book, the professor is limited to the degree they can misdirect you
lol wtf
This was in fucking math class.
That makes it easier then
