>The basic reason infowar tactics work at scale is that our brains are wired for evidentiary scarcity (like our metabolism is wired for scarcity of salt/sugar/fat) We seek confirmation (fragile) over disconfirmation (robust) because that’s rational in info-scarcity environments. If you’re retreating from social media, narrowing info sources to fewer “trusted” ones, and breaking up with friends who suddenly seem to have gone crazy,… Congrats, you’re a casualty of infowar. If you think of it as mental health/self care, it’s worked even better on you.

heh

People going on and on about the eeeeeebil NRA having politicians in their pocket

What I find weirder is that something like PP *receives federal funding* and yet at the same time is making political contributions *back* towards politicians?

>Arguing that free exchange is inherently unfair and exploitative is not all that different from Trump’s argument against the free trade status quo.
