Kinda interesting, maybe we should call this The Substack Effect, anything on a reputable platform will likely to be perceived as the truth even if it's not.
- karmakurtisaani 4y agoDid you read until the end?
- j33zusjuice 4y agoI did, and I couldn’t tell if the intention was to be really meta, or what. It felt like half the list was just made up bullshit (especially with the sources the person chose, with which I was mostly unfamiliar, and thus, I interpret as being less reliable than sources I know and trust), and then at the end he says, “don’t trust any of this.” Like, was the intention to introduce us to useful concepts, or is it some kind of thought experiment around how people take in information, and how revealing the trick doesn’t change people’s perceptions? Was the whole article a kayfabe display? I don’t like this kind of article very much. It feels like a waste of time. I mentally throw out everything I read except a couple things I searched independently. Maybe that’s a good thing. I don’t know. It feels like a waste of time, either way.
