Document Summary
Social psychology: feelings aren"t facts, you have to have facts, naturalistic fallacy, nothing is written, you are anti fragile (you can be the bonfire and not the candle, the concept of confirmation bias and motivated reasoning. Persistence of discredited information: who makes a better fire fighter, after seeing false info, they didn"t go back to "idk then" but they hung onto some of the information that was false. It feels good to maintain and hold onto something you believe. Can i find a way to believe this? want to believe. If we see info that we like, we try to find a way to believe it. Liberals: the more they read, the more they believe. Conservatives: the more info they have about climate change, the less they believe in climate change. 63% gave up the change to win more money simply to avoid reading something that they didn"t believe in.
