Nick Byrd, Ph.D.A #criticalThinking exercise reduced Dems' #fakeNews sharing intent, but not Reps' (N > 1k).
CT exercise: answer 3 questions (with an alluring-but-false option), and then read correct answers, explanations, and instructions to think more reflectively.
Does reflection increase accuracy rather than bias in the assessments of political fake news? - Current Psychology
The literature emphasizes two theoretical frameworks to explain the psychological mechanisms underlying belief in political fake news: motivated vs. reflective reasoning. The motivated reasoning account asserts that individuals are predisposed to accept fake news aligned with their political identity, with reflection further entrenching such beliefs through an identity-protective function. Conversely, the reflective reasoning account argues that reflection improves accuracy by inducing a cognitive decoupling effect, thereby diminishing the acceptance of fake news. However, existing research has not definitively established the causal effect of reflection due to methodological limitations, including reliance on correlational studies and the ineffectiveness of manipulation techniques to activate reflection. In light of these shortcomings, we conducted a high-powered and preregistered experiment employing a strong reflection manipulation (i.e., debiasing training) and equally representing American Democrats and Republicans. Our findings indicate that individuals from both political affiliations are prone to believing and disseminating politically aligned fake news via social media. Despite employing a stronger reflection manipulation in contrast to past research, we failed to replicate the mitigating effect of the reflection on the acceptance of fake news. We observed that reflection reduced Democrats’ willingness to spread fake news, yet it did not affect Republicans. These outcomes underscore the significant role of identity in the assessment of fake news and reveal that the mitigating effect of reflection is contingent upon an individual’s identity group.
Kalvin Carefour JohnnyIf the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can't exist, then others trying to bring it down using "authoritarianism is bad" as justification are demonstrating their own form of control, which I see as a form of authoritarianism. The US wants to control world trade, and looking to the US for trade can also be considered authoritarianism.

Hamas is a resistance group, and the Zionist regime's militia, called the IDF, has failed to brainwash or force me to believe that Hamas is a terrorist organization. However, the IDF is.

The Slow Collapse of Critical Thinking in OSINT due to AI
OSINT used to be a thinking game. Now it’s becoming a trusting game and that should terrify you.I’ve seen it firsthand, analysts running solid investigations, then slowly shifting more and more of the thinking to GenAI tools. At first, it’s small. You use ChatGPT to summarise a document or translate a foreign post. Then it’s helping draft your reports. Then it’s generating leads. And eventually, you’re not thinking as critically as you used to. You’re verifying less, questioning less, relying mo
Brian Greenberg🧠 Why do our brains crave ideology?
According to neuroscientist Leor Zmigrod, it’s not just what we believe — it’s how our brains are wired to believe.
Her research reveals:
🧬 Ideologies act as cognitive shortcuts
🔐 They give us a sense of control in uncertain environments
🌀 But they can also limit our mental flexibility and openness to change
So, how do we protect ourselves from becoming rigid in our thinking?
🌱 By fostering cognitive flexibility
💡 Encouraging introspection
🤝 And exposing ourselves to diverse viewpoints
Understanding the neuroscience behind belief systems can help us navigate polarization — not just socially, but personally.

YunaIntelligent people aren't blessed.
They're cursed with clarity.
While others blissfully regurgitate third-hand opinions over coffee machines, the intelligent sit silently. Watching your house of cards collapse in slow motion. They see every missing piece, every shortcut, every "good enough" buried under "we don't do perfection".
You call it overthinking, as you can't catch up.
They call it surviving the inevitable chaos you refuse to see.
They usually don't talk much.
Not because they're shy,
but because your noise hurts their logic.
You hired them to solve problems.
So let them finish.
Don't micromanage the mechanic fixing your brakes at 200km/h.
Give them space.
And watch them quietly drag your company into a future
you're not even equipped to imagine.
Painful brilliance produces systems that don't scream at 3am.
Let them work.
