people like Trump are demagogues who use fear and mindless repetition to attract voters

Before I get going, I have a background in persuasion and the science behind it.

t. pua

And Lenin is right

But there's a trap in that statement.

Do you know what the trap is?

a hot one?

The trap is ///people are easily manipulated and don't know they are exploited which is right and is an observation made by Lenin///

the trap is thinking that this only happens to other people

You've heard of the terms cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias right?

sure i dont like where this pseudoscientific shit is going but go on

There is not a single human who is immune to it. The trap is that people think that it's something that *other* people experience

It's mainstream science I assure you

no many people are aware that they have confirmation bias

Lol you'd be surprised

Okay let me ask you. What's the difference between a mountain of evidence and someone having confirmation bias?

one is a mountain of evidence

ones a righty and the other is a lefty

Shane is in a mental prison still

No

the answer is there is no difference

i disagree

A mountain of evidence and confirmation bias feel the exact same way

facts have no feelings

there facts

When you learn persuasion this is one of the first things you learn

The problem with being a "fact based" person is that you never know the facts

That's just confirmation bias

there's methodology and statistics to acquire accurate information

Also, people disagree about what the facts are

and things that are repeated empirically

across studies

are more likely to be true

Which is why facts will never change anyones mind

Nope.

you would think that's true, but it's not

simply because anyone can make a study say anything, and even if you encounter a study that violates your worldview....thats when cognitive dissonance kicks in

well if you took a stats course....

sounds likes thats your confirmation bias brss

It certainly might be!

Now you're catching on

this shit sounds gay
