@elizayer Agreed on a lot of fronts... and thanks for the kind words about what I wrote. There's another twist to this that I think you and I may be immune to. The credibility of the source. I think some people might just be outsourcing their own thoughts and opinions to people that they think are credible... and that creates a delusional loop. It makes me wonder how much of what we see is the same. Cognitive outsourcing... cognitive surrender... in the age of AI.

    @knowprose yeah, that's a good point. Cognitive surrender, automation bias, those just seem like specific cases of deferring to authority, which to an extent is a good instinct! But very hackable. :-/
