Part of the Miranda warning is "anything you say can and will be used against you." I think of the "will be" part as a lie, because they're usually not that diligent or competent even when they're that malicious. But it's still a good heuristic when it comes to giving your PII to the government. I used to be an outlier conspiracy theorist for believing that. To those coming around to it, welcome.

- delichon 9mo agoSometimes you have to give it up, sometimes not, which is why it's a heuristic and not a firm rule.

- vladms 9mo agoWhat is the heuristic though? Not giving "normal data" still makes you an outlier, yes, probably they are not very smart, but at some point someone will say "let's round up people that gave us too few data, they are suspicious". I bet that if all conspiracy theorists will be more worried that their neighbors become crazy and would try to do something positive about it (talk to them, befriend them, influence them, etc.) the outcome might be better for everybody.
