Youre watching dana news up next to ducks film democracy of the gullible the internet paradox and dont forget you can always stay outside on our website at state of unease dot com to download our app a w you can also follow us on twitter and instagram as daily news im rebecca raises thanks for the. New year mission on last years return to you and how the last years german sausage how when you bring your uncle out machall youve never tried to surprise yourself with what disposable who is magical really what moves and what holds up to 2 people who follow along the way maurice and critics alike join us for metals last thoughts. The following is neither a hoax nor a conspiracy do not adjust your computer telephone tablet or television we will be controlling all that you see and hear and maybe even what you think so sit back relax and enjoy the world of covenanter bias. In less than 20 years the internet revolution has had a deep impact on Human Behavior than all other media so that today and even affects the way we think. Imagined and invented stories and even outright lies have become prominent in our media landscape how could this be. What under. Means that popularity. Why is it that weve come to down to expert testimony. Could it be that our brains are predisposed towards compelling nonsense. When the World Wide Web was invented in the 1990 s. It was imagined as a democratic space that would provide everyone direct access to all of Human Knowledge yet today it seems knowledge is being eclipsed by conviction and we are all at risk of being dragged down into a democracy of the gullible. To put a usual grease ecclesial theres now a competition between information providers from professional journalists to anyone with a facebook or twitter profile to capture our finite attention that will just put you generally get a job it would i never look at twitter and never comment on anything on twitter on facebook really if you keep hearing on t. V. About something going viral so what the other one was the last time a u 2 a comment change someones opinion could go. The internet has profoundly changed how we communicate as well as the rules of disseminating information. The value of truth and facts has been diminished online opinions are ranked according to engagement so that a much liked Facebook Post commit more prominent than an encyclopedia entry. It if you dont like the popular content is a problem because that determines whether it can reach and attempt to convince me is going to become more important is it possible to do the likelihood of capturing peoples attention is increased if you shape your content to follow the direction of the brains natural bias ease. The internet today is full of manipulation beliefs and superstitions. And the key culprit is not Google Facebook or even the illuminati but our very own brains. Our mind sometimes lead us away from objective reality they allow a number of shortcuts deviations from russia analyse that Service Entry points to socalled Cognitive Biases. These biases act on the way we think that its like how an optical illusion fools they are right but recognizing our little intellectual lapses is as difficult for us as it would be for a person who was born blind to understand an optical illusion. Take this checkerboard boxes a and b. Are exactly the same shade of gray but even when the illusion is revealed we continue to feel there is some kind of trick. We can see just how powerful these effects are in magic magicians our masters and manipulation Cognitive Biases. Are set so low that if we removed all biases it would be very difficult to make magic come to life that it probably wouldnt be perceived as magic but as special effects the true emotion we feel the sense of wonder we have watching magic im not sure there would be any of that left without our inherent biases that. Magician loop create illusions that seem to defy the laws of physics. He does so also by exploiting our Natural Inclination to believe. Also so i think over time the human brain created certain shortcuts that enable us to be more efficient but which also lead to errors of perception. Cognitive biases may make us more efficient in everyday life but they explode online. Here our natural weaknesses are exploited. In his book the democracy of the gullible drop of a well known sociologist from the paris Digital University has dissected the various biases in our brains that influence our judgment on the internet starting with doubt. A downs is fundamental especially in democracies people have a fundamental right to doubt things from official communication is to scientific proposals but as i follow painfully learned the seeds of doubt can be easily planted sometimes just for the sake of doing so. Gives the right to doubt is not accompanied by jus diligence its a real threat to democracy the goodness of on the internet doubt is amplified by countless untrustworthy sources and although there are tools to check the truth of posts few people make that effort. By example for example you dont a priori believe that a man never walked on the moon. That picture did have probably soared on t. V. And so forth but by utilizing doubts we can tell you a story that will lead you step by step to a conclusion that seemed completely unlikely at 1st. The belief that Neil Armstrong never set foot on the moon is untenable the u. S. S. R. Would have been delighted to denounce even the slightest deception it was easy for them to aim their antennas towards the moon to confirm or refute the transmission. And for those who say a satellite could have broadcast the images from space remember that in 1969 a 100 megabyte disk weighed a ton and the saturn 5 rocket may have been able to transport the d. V. D. Into space but would have had no room left for a player to play it on. Board affairs. In 20092012 evidence from indian chinese and american probes put an end to the room as she will need to do to do if you were to doubt everything you couldnt live view for example youd say i know ill burn my hand if i put it close to a fire because ive already done that but what about my fruit my head i havent tried those yet let that i see. How Cognitive Biases and our emotions influence reasoning is a subject of great interest to is about. Shes a professor at the university after beck a tough. It didnt bear how many doubt allows us to reassess our beliefs but at the same time we dont abandon everything because of one example that contradicts what we believe. We have a tendency to characterize and categorize things are actually a moon oil spills off a tree near us. We have an innate predisposition to attend to human faces this is crucial for recognizing people. That this same bias can lead us to question facts and believe in the presence of for example an ancient civilization on mars. And thats our void in mash our brain is a sense made on machine so it is not surprising that we have difficulty accepting coincidence as an explanation yet when we see you know clash at cloud in the sky of course theres no unicorn there but our brains superimposes that impression. And we see those types of cognitive processes often if at any point you saw them all and. If we asked a person whether they would use the numbers 1234561 lottery tickets that most would say no because theyd feel they wouldnt win on the on this side of what i think is best yeah heres something. We constantly encounter content that exploits our difficulties in understanding statistics and probabilities i dismissal of coincidence as explanation influences our preferences in the tarrant of information. Of the deregulation of the Information Market channel some of our minds natural slopes by for example if you have one chance in a 1000 of hitting the bulls eye with a dart its only extraordinary if you hit it if you havent tried a 1000 times. The need for the manipulation is to. Nor the sample sizes amid the 999 tries that failed film the one that succeeded and say hes incredibly talented isnt here more doing this. So these days were ceaseless lee alerted to very low risks and that has turned us into a society of hypochondriacs something that may have been useful in the past but is now cumbersome. For example we have retained our craving for sugar despite the consequences this has for our bodies such biases and heritage from our ancestors and not defects per se on not all want that long ago certain bias seas were arguably extremely useful lets say you lived in a hostile environment if you heard a rustling in the bushes it would be better to overestimate the risk and run because if you dont you might not be around long enough to tell the tale and pass on your genetic code you would continue to but in the jungle of the internet overestimating rest can lead to troubling results. So conspiracists often think that when 2 events occur at the same time its not a coincidence obviously theres a correlation is not the same as causation but if things are related people see causality each and her studied physics before specializing in the history of science hes particularly interested in the evolution of critical thinking. To invoke on the loss of the 4th it was something as a lawyer destroying it is like a killing i was it had its knack a feel its an infinite terrorists theres a law that says if it takes this much energy to create crash it itll take 100. 00 times more to destroy it legally. This law was formulated by a better but under an Italian Program in 2013 a lot of legislation. Which called for god. Shit spray the list with next year got equal to about that. I studied. Bundling formulated this principle after observing italys former Prime MinisterSilvio Berlusconi lie on Television Without anyone being able to set the record straight. On my part i think they might say. That this principle is used and abused by scammers conspiracists and a growing number of politicians. On a market where we say everyone has a right to speak which is good and everyones likes the truth which is another thing our minds including mine will be tempted to accept that which resembles truth even if it contradicts the actual truth like. We have a mental tendency to accept the latest Conspiracy Theory wave after wave you havent any. So we might begin by being wary of palm oil rightly or wrongly that brings us to another Science Research is about something entirely different israels role in the terrorist attacks for example this aggregates into a multilayered construct which is intimidating even for those who do not believe it and. On this bed early 2000 we still hopes that the internet would spread massive amounts of knowledge but that hasnt happened at all sitting want to do is a funny type of democracy its what i call the democracy of the gullible yes its true the internet is democratizing because it gives everyone access to public space but while some voter 1000 times others never voted at all and often those who vote most carry the strongest and most radical convictions and beliefs if you do quite well the had to change the. Way you generally associate with those who think like us and view those who dont as fools young someone things like us often we tend to believe theyre intelligent but theyre someone it would be nice to have coffee with them or yeah this is exactly whats happening on the internet except much worse. As opinions are polarized into opposing camps diversity of viewpoints and nuances disappear. Small highly motivated groups often attract so many clicks that depositions appear to be much more representative than they really are. Theres a tyranny of minorities who are louder than others unfortunately tyrannies know how to exploit the apathy of good reasonable people. Said it was only i can really design them up you accumulate arguments that have nothing to do with each other and which are all quite weak but bundled together the unprepared mind thinks they cant all be false salutes you know thats why conspiracy theories all the Anti Vaccine Movement have such persuasive power that its not that people believe each and every argument but there are so many of them accounts as a. Young that theyre not
