epstein is more of a recognizable name to me rather than a definition of the scope or longevity.
There’s no doubt it is being done on purpose. Well educated, intelligent people can see through the lies by using the tools of critical thinking. Morons just believe what they “hear” most frequently and trust only what they’re told to trust.
i’m starting to believe that there’s more to it than this: the epstein revelations spurred me into other rabbit holes from other revelations from sources like the freedom of information act where the american gov’t effectively publicly admitted to creating propaganda about controversial topics like north korea; yet self-selective-trusting maga morons and well educated, critical-thinking-espousing liberals alike both believe the propaganda anyways despite some of these revelations being in the public domain for decades at this point and will reject the proof when you show it to them.
this extends to even more modern propaganda regarding ukraine and it’s all making me believe that it’s deeper than one group being morons and the other more educated.
You are likely correct. The liberal side has it’s unthinking zombies just like the right, and I was focusing on intellectual skill rather than political affiliations.
People need to internalize one of the most important rules of critical thought: hold your beliefs loosely and keep your identity separated from your beliefs.
Fail in that, and even genius level people will discount or deny objective facts that cast doubt on their beliefs.
