驗證性偏誤是一種察覺、相信,並分享符合你我既存信念之資訊的傾向。當某種說法肯定我們對世界的信念,我們就會更傾向接受該說法為真,比較不會質疑其可能為假。
社會學家尼爾 • 波茲曼(NeilPostman)的格言一語中的:「在任何時候,你得應付的主要鬼扯消息來源就是你自己。」

Chapter 2 Media Msg and Misinformation
Incentive misalignment of fostering long term subscription versus getting clicks
“Make u feel bla” most popular headlines
Share to signal self versus truth
Repercussions e.g. 2018 fake videos abt kidnapping, xenophobia, killed tourists
E.g Jordan peele and Obama face swap. Macedonian children and Russian bots. When ppl are scared enough, they stop talking.

Chpt 1 Bullshit everywhere
Brandolini’s principal of creating bullshit is so much easier than cleaning it up. E.g Wakefield’s anti vaccine paper and documentary
And bullshit spreads faster

有效的鬼扯,就像是說話者弄了一個黑盒子。如果是純粹謊言而已,通常很容易便能加以揭穿及反駁,但若鬼扯得好,便不易查證是否屬實。就像拉圖所說的黑盒子,鬼扯能夠替某種說法找掩護,不受進一步調查的威脅。

2016年時,擁有西洋棋特級大師(grand master)頭銜的蓋瑞•卡斯帕洛夫(Garry Kasparov )用一篇推特貼文道出這套方法的梗概:「現代宣傳的重點不只是給人錯誤資訊或硬推某種主張,而是耗盡你的批判思考力,讓真理從此銷聲匿跡。」

鎖定容易煽動情緒的議題......其目標是要擴大每個政治陣營中最高分貝、最極端的聲音,並淹沒那些相對理性、有建設性的討論。一旦不同政治派系之間的分歧夠深,對話便會停止。我們對人、對制度的信任漸漸消蝕,對群體共同決定的能力失去信心,到最後,便會開始質疑民主進程。

部落知識論(知識之獲得或形成來自其部落或團體所言為真者):真相本身跟事實與否,或是否為實際經驗所得等較不相關,而是看那些話是誰說的,以及他們所說的內容跟所屬群體的世界觀有多吻合。
