RE: FAKE CRYPTOCURRENCY NEWS - Trust Yourself
It is true that emotions are the target of the Fake News, and although it is a trendy new term "it" has always existed, it has been called many things, propaganda, marketing, salt and pepper, spin, a new term is used every once in a while. what they all really mean is BS but everyone seems to have adopted a well used tool of control called "political correctness" these may seem like words to the mainstream, but be not fooled, they are much more than just words. Words are powerful spells and can be custom weaponized. Superpowers use words to control everything in the modern world, they use lots of words to construct the very fibers of this era. they call it Data, Big Data. The centralized data giants are the wielders of mass hypnosis, because they take the words we read and write and they use them to predict and control us. They sell us things that trigger subconscious associative memory because it is delivered using your words. The words you wrote or said to your phone or computer. every device you use is actually spying on you.
Thank you Dane for this article which indeed inspires one to take a fresh look at things, hopefully many readers will think about how this confusion is distorting our evolution and maybe consider if it is time to revisit our core values.
Today, most people who read news on social networks suffer from a lack of concentration. And all because on the page in any social network, they expect an overload of content: information comes from all sides, and in order to properly evaluate this information, there is not enough time, nor attention, nor, in fact, desire. That's why fake news spreads as fast and destructive as wildfire.
Thanks so much, grisotti, for your multiple comments. Yes, information overload is one of the great challenges facing humanity every day. Readers often rely on information outlets to choose the stories (and the priority of position thereof). The effect is hypnotic.
Undoubtedly you are correct that huge internet companies solicit and harvest data in order to track and even guide user preferences. As to what often masquerades as the "news", much of it reads more like industry press releases than like neutral reporting. Thank you very much for your insights.
