I assume cortex is a channel or something you watch, not brain matter?

If you assumed that, was there a need to post that you assumed it? I mean, if you search that name and that word it fills up the results. It doesn't help for you to go "hint hint".

  People who don’t validate assumptions are made into fools. Without context, I wouldn’t even know if the search results would be the right thing to look for without making further assumptions.

      To someone who knows, they are "clearly" the right thing. To someone who is searching for random words, but usually searches for some of these words in a different context ... it isn't.

        My level of knowing was about the same as "I assume it's a channel" from seeing it mentioned once, much like the above post mentioned it. And then every single result was channel/podcast. So I don't think this is a bias from already knowing the answer. When you search some words and the first ten results are all the same thing, and they fit this context and assumption perfectly, while your normal context for some of those words doesn't fit at all... Then you did it. You found the answer.

        I dunno dude. I remember a time where searching for Firefox would get you malware + Firefox. My trust of search results is around "trust but verify." It's gotten better, but planted search results, copied content, ad farms ... all those things still exist.
