From a very young age human brains are trained to decode pretty much any text string presented to them, in a way that leaves them pretty vulnerable to #fnords propaganda and devious #infohazards

If anything positive is to come from the AI era is a healthy scepticism and avoidance of any text that appears very likely to have been vibed into existence, ai;dr might very well become a countercultural rallying cry

Johnathan Cook writing on the way the establishment media report on the Middle east.

I think people in general are getting better at seeing the fnords in the western capitalist propaganda that passes for news media. The more they have to twist the truth the more obvious it becomes.

It's still hard though, having been trained not to see them.

Cook manages to fill a long article pointing out case after case of the press' constant oiling of the path to mass slaughter, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Uns kam zu Ohren das Menschen auf dem #cccamp23 wirklich glauben das man die Dixie Toiletten nicht benutzen du:rfte weil daru:ber angeblich das "Netzwerk gemanaged" wird. So etwas absurdes haben wir schon lange nicht mehr geho:rt. Wer wirklich glaubt das Internet ka:me aus einer Toilette soll bitte dringend zum CERT. #hitzeschlag

Der Dynamische Diskord Dresden sorgt sich um die Chaos Community, wenn sie nicht mal die offensichtlichsten #fnords erkennen kann.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy explains an intergalactic version of #fnords

"An SEP is something that we can't see, or don't see, or our brain doesn't let us see, because we think that it's somebody else's problem. That's what SEP means. Somebody Else's Problem. The brain just edits it out, it's like a blind spot. If you look at it directly you won't see it unless you know precisely what it is. Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye."
