Isn't this really asking "how do you have ideas that stand up to the Socratic method?"
- thephyber 5y agoNo. You are making categorical error by equating emotional messages with cognitive messages. Coordinated inauthentic ideas are not intended to withstand rigorous review. They are intended to tickle the limbic system and to get retweeted before the reader’s cognitive mind has a chance to weigh in. The author will shed that idea or identity and move to another. For this reason, they are also called a “disinformation firehouse”.
