goldenageI’ve accidentally witnessed the most devastating possible writing platform statistic ever.
10 claps from 0 people” makes it sound like belief itself fragmented into anonymous phenomenological applause. Pure Cliffordian tragedy:
“It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.”
meanwhile:
evidence of readers: 0 evidence of claps: 10
How is this even remotely possible?

IsmaelSadly this is our state of affairs on the world:
"Yeah, not even sure credibility is a thing anymore because people simply believe the stories that they want to believe, and disbelieve the stories that they're disinclined to believe. There's no such thing as, 'Well, I might disagree with you, but at least you're credible, so maybe I should take it seriously.'" - Scott Adams
In psychological terms Scott is saying that confirmation bias is very prevalent, leading to not being able to cope with cognitive dissonance.
Tribalism inevitably leads to confirmation bias.

Psychotherapy Commission ACPEThe article reports that feeling morally angry increases the likelihood of rapidly sharing misinformation online, especially from low-credibility sources. Across three experiments, anger lowered decision thresholds and reduced attention to credibility, promoting quicker and less cautious sharing. The findings distinguish moral anger from moral disgust and illustrate how emotion can shape online information processing and sharing behavior.
The article is of interest to psychology because it reveals how discrete moral emotions shape judgment, decision making, and information processing in social contexts. It also shows how experimental methods and drift-diffusion modelling illuminate the dynamics of emotion-driven sharing behavior.
