I was thinking about how the ratio of those attempting to influence and obscure vs. Explain and present analysis is now what? 200:1?
While I wander into this it is astounding to me how strong bias hysteresis is (reluctance to change point of view in the face of contradicting or incoherent data).
Try sitting down with a college student and listen to the rationalization of October 7. Take each of the lies, “white colonialism” etc., ask what basis they personally use (typically none, they only associate as they follow the group). Slowly go through them until they are confronted with the incoherence, at which point they become angry. People would serve themselves better if they practiced analysis / critical thinking about really all information foisted on them. What is the motive of the presenter? Why is he using emotions to make his points? Are these claims coherent?
I like it.

Ryan is one of the good guys in the info sphere.
That’s my man… pearls of wisdom from Ryan… especially that last parting comment. Well said good sir. 😊🥃👍
