The following is neither a hoax nor a conspiracy do not adjust your computer telephone tablet or television we will be controlling all that you seen and hear and maybe even what you think so sit back relax and enjoy the world of Cognitive Biases. In less than 20 years the internet revolution has had a deep impact on Human Behavior of an all of a media so that today it even affects the way we think. Imagined and invented stories and even outright lives have become prominent in our media landscape how could this be. What underpins the popularity. Why is it that weve come to down to expert testimony. Or. Could it be that our brains are predisposed towards compelling nonsense. When the World Wide Web was invented in the 1990 s. It was imagined as a democratic space that would provide everyone direct access to all of Human Knowledge yet today it seems knowledge is being eclipsed by conviction and we are all it risk of being dragged down into a democracy of the gullible. Usual greece agrees of there is now a competition between information providers from professional journalists to anyone with a facebook or twitter profile to capture our finite attention that will just put out janet which i never look at twitter and never comment on anything on twitter on facebook if you keep hearing on t. V. About something going viral so well you know that when was the last time a you to comment change someones opinion to. The internet has profoundly changed how we communicate as well as the rules of disseminating information. The value of truth and facts has been diminished online opinions are ranked according to engagement so that a much liked Facebook Post commit more prominent than an encyclopedia entry. In it if you dont like the popular content he has a problem because that determines whether it can reach and attempt to convince me is going to become more important to see beauty do the likelihood of capturing peoples attention is increased if you shape your content of follow the direction of the brains natural bias ease of. The internet today is full of manipulation beliefs and superstitions. And the key culprit is not Google Facebook or even the illuminati but our very own brains. And mind sometimes lead us away from objective reality they allow a number of shortcuts deviations from russian ality that serve as entry point to socalled Cognitive Biases. These biases act on the way we think that like how an optical illusion fools they are but recognizing our little intellectual lapses is as difficult for us as it would be for a person who was born blind to understand an optical illusion. Take this checkerboard boxes a and b. Are exactly the same shade of gray but even when the illusion is revealed we continue to feel there is some kind of trick. We can see just how powerful these effects are and magic magicians are masters of manipulation Cognitive Biases. Are set so low that if we removed all biases it would be very difficult to make magic come to life that it probably wouldnt be perceived as magic but as special effects to emotion we feel the sense of wonder we have watching magic im not sure there would be any of that left without our inherent bias is that. Magician luke learnt of our creator allusions that seem to defy the laws of physics. He does so also by exploiting our Natural Inclination to believe. Also so i think over time the human brain created certain shortcuts that enable us to be more efficient but which also lead to errors of perception. Cognitive biases may make us more efficient in everyday life but they explode on line. Here our natural weaknesses are exploited. And his poke the democracy of the gullible drop of a well known sociologist from the paris de gaulle university has dissected the various biases in our brains that influence our judgement on the internet starting with doubt. Lou due to a downside is fundamental especially in democracies people have a fundamental right to doubt things from official communications to scientific proposals but as i fellow painfully learned the seeds of doubt can be easily planted sometimes just for the sake of doing so. Gives the right to doubt is not accompanied by jus diligence its a real threat to democracy. On the Internet Data is amplified by countless untrustworthy sources and although there are tools to check the truth of posts few people make that effort. By example for example you dont a priori believe that a man never walked on the moon. Just because were probably saw it on t. V. And so forth but by utilizing doubts we can tell you a story that will lead you step by step to a conclusion that seems completely unlikely at 1st. The belief that Neil Armstrong never set foot on the moon is untenable the u. S. S. R. Would have been delighted to denounce even the slightest deception it was easy for them to aim their antennas towards the moon to confirm or refute the transmission losses and for those who say a satellite could have broadcast the images from space remember that in 1969 a 100 megabyte disk weighed a ton and the saturn 5 rocket may have been able to transport the d. V. D. Into space it would have had no room left for a player to play it on board and board affairs. In 20092012 evidence from indian chinese and american probes put an end to the room as she will need to do to do if you were to doubt everything you couldnt live view for example youd say i know ill burn my hand if i put it close to a fire because ive already done that but what about my fruit my head i havent tried those yet let that i see. How Cognitive Biases and our emotions influence reasoning is a subject of great interest to is about that shes a professor at the university after beck taught her b. F. They didnt care how many doubt allows us to reassess our beliefs but at the same time we dont abandon everything because of one example that contradicts what we believe. Or we have a tendency to characterize and categorize things are actually a new normal stools off a tree near us. We have an innate predisposition to attend to human faces this is crucial for recognising people. But the same bias can lead us to question facts and believe in the presence of for example an ancient civilization on mars. And thats our void and mash our brain is a sense medo machine so it isnt surprising that we have difficulty accepting coincidence as an explanation yet we see you know clash a cloud in the sky of course theres no unicorn there but our brains superimposes that impression. And we see those types of cognitive processes often if at any point you saw them all and. If we are asked to person whether they would use the numbers 12345618 lot or a ticket think most would say no because they feel they wouldnt win on that on this either but i think this past year. We constantly encounter content that exploits our difficulties and understanding statistics and probabilities are dismissal of coincidence as explanation influences our preferences in the tarrant of information. But. The deregulation of the information markedly jannah some of our minds natural slopes by for example if you have one chance in a 1000 of hitting the bulls eye with a dart its only extraordinary if you hit it if you havent tried a 1000 times already there callicles still the need for the manipulation is to. Ignore the sample sizes amid the 999 tries that failed film the one that succeeded and say hes incredibly talented isnt doing this. So these days we are ceaseless lee alerted to very low risks and that has turned us into a society of hypochondriacs something that may have been useful in the past but is now cumbersome. For example we have retained our craving for sugar despite the consequences this has for our bodies such biases and heritage from our ancestors and not defects pressac. On not only want that long ago certain bias seas were arguably extremely useful lets say you lived in a hostile environment if you heard a rustling in the bushes it would be better to overestimate the risk and run because if you dont you might not be around long enough to tell the tale and pounce on your genetic code. But in the jungle of the internet overestimating rest can lead to troubling results. Conspiracists often think that when 2 events occur at the same time its not a coincidence. Theres a correlation is not the same as causation but if things are related people see causality each and her studied physics before specializing in the history of science hes particularly interested in the evolution of critical thinking. It was something as on laws that destroying it is like killing i was it had its knack its an infinite terrorists theres a law that says if it takes this much energy to create crap itll take 100 times more to destroy it legally. A lot of this law was formulated by a better put and an Italian Program in 2013 a lot of legit egypt. Which started. When i stopped. Shit. The list with got equal to about that it must either said that he studied. Under leading formulation of this principle after observing italys former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi Lifetime Television without anyone being able to set the record straight. Not now but i think they might say. That. This principle is used and abused by scum as conspiracists and a growing number of politicians. Try mccree on a market where we say everyone has a right to speak which is good and everyone thinks the truth which is another thing our minds including mine will be tempted to accept that which resembles truth even if it contradicts the actual truth. We have a mental tendency to accept the latest Conspiracy Theory wave after wave you have any. So we might begin by being wary of palm oil rightly or wrongly that brings us to another Science Research is about something entirely different israels role in the terrorist attacks for example this aggregates into a multilayered construct which is intimidating even for those who do not believe it. On this bed early to thousands we still hope that the internet would spread massive amounts of knowledge but that hasnt happened at all sitting boarded in a funny type of democracy its what i call the democracy of the gullible yes its true the internet is democratizing because it gives everyone access to public space but while some voter 1000 times others never voted at all and often those who vote most carry the strongest and most radical convictions and beliefs you do quite your swaddle had to sit on a loss i could tell you generally associate with those who think like us and view those who dont as fools young someone things like us often we tend to believe theyre intelligent but theyre someone it would be nice to have coffee with them oh yeah this is exactly whats happening on the internet except much worse. As opinions are polarized into opposing camps diversity of viewpoints a nuance as disappear. Small highly motivated groups often attract so many clicks that their positions appear to be much more representative than they really are. Theres a tyranny of minorities who are louder than others unfortunately tyrannies know how to exploit the apathy of good reasonable people. Here today its astonishing how conspiracy theories use highly technical arguments in a wide variety of fields. She said i can really design them up you accumulate arguments that have nothing to do with each other and which are all quite weak but bundled together the unprepared mind thinks they cant all be false he loves why conspiracy theories all the Anti Vaccine Movement have such persuasive power that its not that people believe each and every argument but there are so many of them. Yet there are. Mental shortcuts help our brains save energy but they often lead to biases such as the least effort principle which make us easy a target. Early to rule isnt conspiracy theories have existed for a long time in human imagination. Rehashing is an internet speciality since old fake news is quickly forgotten it can be used again as fresh news a few months later. Unlike us the internet never forgets. And that the better move do you know since the internet has transformed an oral tradition into a written one at it with the copy paste function its easy to distribute silly nonsense. And then he called to go to uni. Its like a dialogue of the deaf when a small group like the 911. 00 truth theres Still Believes the fall of the twin towers was a government conspiracy. You do toward. Relief that its impossible for an inexperienced pilot to fly a boeing with control because a video game or fail to do so is far from reality when you use the phone once in the air flying is almost childs play you could train a chimpanzee to do it. Deploy furthermore no one had ever seen an aircraft crash at full speed into one of the most solid buildings ever built originally pentagon good. To get excited its pointless to argue with those who believe in conspiracy theories such as that the American Government deciding illions. The Mainstream Media shouldnt feed off twitter reports only legitimate news and not engage with things that are pure dont yury im the oh shit. The least effort principle might be seen as the father of all biases being lazy can be useful and we can all be a bit gullible. On the. This we dont have the power to completely disconnect from our prior knowledge and expectations hopes and emotions. Were almost always biased of me persis information for which doesnt necessarily matter it says a function it reduces the difficulty of processing our environment. If the fact there are 2 ways to accomplish a reasoning task one is more in choosing automatic and faster and demands list community of jews the other exercises reasoning and reflection and requires more cognitive resources. To follow is a great article saying that 70 percent of Internet Users only read headlines and to prove it the body was in placeholder text so many people shared it saying 70 percent of Internet Users only read headlines. This kind of production if it is frightening gleeful most of all our brains are lazy in general we go through every day life and belief mode and belief mode has advantages over knowledge because it doesnt require much effort we just believe on quite. True. Beliefs about ken trails it imagines a conspiracy whereby the American Government and the pharmaceutical industry use airlines to spread toxic substances to poison people and influence world affairs. The main suspects are human reptile hybrids and more luminati young. You mean that. There are many erroneous beliefs that dont have any knock on effects people believe the sun moves around the earth its what they see every day the sun rises in the east and sets in the west the scientific truth here is a tract so it was fiction vitebsk that i thought that they could you share lets not worry about such in consequential beliefs we should focus on those beliefs that have consequences. If a group wants to change the law because they believe in camp trails thats something we should deal with on a good day never to kill you know everyone has opinions i always say twitter and facebook are really just part talk all this that on a global scale that gives in the past always stayed at the bar whereas now our nonsense is put on twitter and broadcast to the world. On a boat even the most intelligent person in the world could still be fooled by magician path. Because that person does not have access to all the information the magician has. Which can lead to the impression of precedence well tell it will take all the spontaneous appearance of an object or an object at all theres over theres always a trick im convinced that even Albert Einstein could have been taken in by magic we know theres a trick but we like to forget while watching the real ordeal. Unlike the internet we do not have unlimited resources the principle of least effort makes us accept easy explanations we only see what we want to see and we adopt the majority view. That all the vision we invent a magic trick we create those conditions ultimately we for the brain and make it draw false conclusion its all falls. The fact that out of fault is to rely on automatic cognitive processes allows the internet to make use of anything that is likely to see. The spread of computer viruses and online scams are good examples as these largely play on our instinctive biases the fundamental love for it takes a similar skill set to plan a bank robbery as to come up with a trick that puts a cell phone inside a bottle that it doesnt with a mask. In Computer Science a virus is generally a Program Designed to act militias liana computer. Went. To. Work since world records. Really one person. Because you were. Magic is often associated with scams because we use similar tactics. The simplest advice which sadly is seldom followed is to carry out updates. The least effort principle is a boon for scam artists we rarely change default settings and often use predictable passwords. The best and i dont think anyone is 100 percent protective we all have subconscious prejudices we all have things we believe or want to believe while any one of us can be fooled by a scammer who pulls the right straight and appears at the right moment while. Computer experts have more information than most of us. We sometimes forget that storing data in the cloud actually millon sending it to massive data centers. Of course data that there are many many websites that talk about kemp treys the loch ness monster and such. Lets consider how many sites Internet Users may visit to learn about a subject who devote most wanted look at more than 30 so if we take the top 30 sites listed on Google Search and look at how many support a particular belief or ya how many argue it out from a rational point of view us and how many a neutral we find that 70 percent of those sites will support a belief with the city so far quite yes. Cognitive biases help us to tame our fear of the unknown we have a tendency to adopt the 1st belief that fills a void. More like it when you ask someone whether theyre superstitious most will say no thats you its been shown that superstition is related to uncertain situations that brain is trying to control our environment thats probably one reason why weve survived this well. To make sense out of a disturbing event people and situations where they are losing or of lost control or more easily rely on beliefs superstitions and conspiracy. These. In everyday life the feeling of losing control often translates into accept just touching wood for luck consulting horoscopes or exploring new beliefs. Martin is the owner of a specialized boutique in quebec that serves an ever growing demand. For an additional we are other bands we cannot control in our lives quite good county i believe that when we are more balanced its easier to navigate these moments. I dont think i wrote a song. But rather the direction of. Superstitions have long roots 2 millennia after autonomy no one has updated the zodiac although the constellations have moved on most people who believe they were born under the sign of virgo for example probably werent. Able to be able to discern evaluate we generally need to have Something Else to compare it to so if there is an object being sold for 20 although its normally worth for a normal brain will feel this is a good deal right. To treat a tree in one affair he says we can call an anchor. According to the anchor bias we rely heavily on the 1st piece of information we receive this goes beyond economics. Professor of Cognitive Sciences and is especially interested in and curative theories as children we tend to form our own theories about the world that are meant to explain every day events around us but arent necessarily accurate as they dont necessarily comply with the scientific view of the world but these intuitive ideas never go away that are suppressed. And if a person is burdened under time pressure or has a lot on their mind this intuitive understanding reemerges. It took us a lot longer to say that a plant was alive than to say an animal was alive because plants dont move so our earliest understanding of a live just meant something that can move on its own. With the confirmation we have developed a series of automatic responses that make us more efficient as we go through daily life. Visiting a country which is a very different culture. Can feel that we experience cognitively team because we are constantly having to learn such an expectation is in our knowledge a very useful and i believe to function on a daily basis. Cognitive laziness does not necessarily translate to lack of energy on the contrary believers often increase their efforts to solidify their belief so. True believers are motivated than the average citizen and because they are more driven by occupy the spaces left empty in the deregulated Information Markets are empty chairs in this market and good. That produces a terrible effect this tyranny of minorities can convince people who are undecided to side with them. Another powerful effect on line is conformity conformity is an active part of confirmation bias members of a Homogenous Group will ruthlessly reject any element that does not conform to their collective beliefs. Yes the internet is extraordinary but we must be able to train people so that in the future they can read the internet. With what it is i do the bending utensils trick often because i know that some people think it really is possible imagine that its in our collective imagination because of everything that happened around. Because of what theyve seen in films it allows them to dream. Believing in fantasies helps us to feel cognitive forwards and may make us feel like were privy to a secret like were one of the initiators. A good example is the discussion surrounding the many theories about how ancient monuments were built. 2 times the pace of the Great Pyramid of giza divided by its height gets roughly 3. 00 dividing the large circle around the base by the small circle within gives the speed of light and then theres the golden ratio one wonders who designed the. Age groups the ones who gets most of their Information Online a younger people get the order and theyre also the most likely to believe what they read online or not done it. By my couldnt imagine my life without the internet thats for sure if they do i mean books are good but work appears like unlimited books Facebook Face twitter and snap chat give any of us so. Most of the information on facebook isnt necessarily credible. But young people dont come here to buy magazines i know magazines and newspapers know more anybody. Who im i had your 10 years young man around but younger than that know me you sure know. The key is proportions have a factor of 2. 64755 that of the pair met squared 7 the number of virginity we find pi again and the speed of light so who designed this mysterious kiosk in paris. Our company to bias as help us filter input to avoid cognitive overload. These mental watchdogs are not so much essential as they are never going to. Get on the internet any manner of filtering as quickly seen as control propaganda and concealment. By. This Information Market was once regulated by gatekeepers by guardians of the threshold but usual which is to say journalists politicians academics and a whole series of people who were trusted to disseminate information in Public Places secure the internet anyone can express their opinions to the world directly and thats good. But in the nixon era we were lucky that there were honest players within a society of the spectacle that says it did this big or your dream in your members today there isnt even a spectacle today its a society of ads about a spectacle. Was only released in us to. Any journalist academic or writer who has tried to expose or criticize these things that any given moment down themselves immediately accused of being part of a conspiracy but. When things go viral we rarely check the content against expert testimony before believing it. Our Cognitive Biases discourage us from investing the time and effort. By a lot of skill in the past when we. In the book so we knew that someone had taken the trouble to write it edit it and to get it published studies studies of this it was of the studio as a process that if youre posting on social networks is something you can do with one hand on your smartphone on a bus or another to visit. But the 1st battle the battle for attention has been won because i mean were in an attention economy where the amount of the brain time you can bring to your site is monetized Information Available has greatly increased since the early 2000 us full. C. D. s on the condition it is an indian meal and you know what they say about men or small ones. If you have to speak very loudly and one way of speaking loudly in the information economy is to make outrageous statements you know the 2nd amendment people maybe there is outer. Deregulated Information Market also means tension to radicalize discourse and the uncomfortable feeling of living in a society where everyone is saying it because. I. Was clear that political debates in the us but not only in the us tend towards hysteria to stay busy. Nothing we can still receive better than playing on Public Opinion and for instance disseminating accusations about politicians sex life or secret photos the photo so even if these arent published the damage is done defuses i made a fetus political fight seem to have become battles for attention more than for conviction. If you can fool people also for political ends i think the electoral process is unfortunately very similar to misleading and deceiving people. That its. Traditionally journalists whether watchdogs have democracies. But can they hold on to this role in a Virtual World and if not who will replace them. With your priest anonymous were not cry. And also. We are well romantics just human beings idealists who want to see a better future. For mongolia as a young computer entrepreneur and a proud member of anonymous a movement striving to reclaim freedom of expression in the internet era he agreed to be interviewed without a mask. Suki disconcertingly saying that you dont need your communications to be private because youre not a criminal is similar to saying you dont need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say about low cost today is it. A moment shes. Anyone including us you cant return with. The ford coach for her to. Morrisons solely by game. Its not a crime to have value so thats where the dark where is an attempt to regain independence and freedom of communication between humans. Sure russia to the argentine the International Russian t. V. Network financed by the kremlin posts all sorts of conspiracy theories originating in very ideological circles at the marquee to russia to the. R. T. Has often shown journalism that wins awards. She pulls. That maybe proves that the truth is not necessarily to be found in Mainstream Media. You want who says we distrust the media as the press or even scientific experts on certain issues. Are politically motivated misinformation and disinformation further amplify feelings of mistrust and insecurity. Its like a hobby if someone is fashion it about collecting the champagne corks they can devote hours and hours to it i believe that here we are dealing with people whove gone crazy about their hobby. Continually do it. To glisten i think conspiracy theories doesnt mean that they dont exist. Its called no more of your when we do it arouses extraordinarily violent reactions see it will go over insults and name calling to intimidation to actual threats work of us. Even versing with people you dont know on line who often use pseudonyms amplifies the violence of these exchanges it doesnt take long before you compare the other to hitler or a nazi as well. When Shirley Abdul was attacked in france conspiracy theories were online just hours later the days of january 7th on the day of the attack i logged more than 20 different conspiracy theories. Broke 4 days later they were already more than 100 produce argument of you and you can put. These i. Q. Valving my thoughts my people who feel as if their integrity to be attacked why i also feel their fundamental belief that the world is a safe place has been shall kill im only down on the security. Disinfo mission can maintain a state of denial it gives us the impression that we have regained a certain amount of control allowing us to keep our faith and our strongest convictions. If we listen to the media we end up hating ourselves as muslims and each other. I prefer to believe in conspiracy theories i found sources but i cant cite them im a muslim and i dont want to believe those people can kill in the name of god. Laid out his new hour of war scholars and little wrists have a psychological intuition about what their actions provoke in people. To kill physical labor how this kind of terror shakes the fundamental belief that one needs to have to live in our societies the confidence that our lives will not be menaced every day. Down 3 at least will get loss of control bias can have a direct impact on other types of beliefs such as on the belief in conspiracies. By conforming you can give in to an idea and feel that it has always been your truth but big like a revelation it will never going to give you less your infant sure spirity theories can be consoling i dont like this reality so find another and flee. We dont have a true problem its a trust problem. To paraphrase parentally needs no it takes a fasten times more effort to reestablish trust them to shake it. Instant access to all of Human Knowledge has paradoxically brought us to a place where we have devoting less and less time to being one of informed and fewer people are paying heed to scientific fact. On that was that they did it for we all have cell phones but few people really understand how they work its a bit like magic of the average week series of almost all mixing up serious facts with crazy information to excite certain natural tendencies in our minds just because we say whats the story about giants theyve discovered skeleton really were even if we dont believe it we want to see the fake photos to keep it up. We must be wary of what we call the authorities all white coat effect you appear on t. V. In a White Lab Coat and all of a sudden you have more authority. If it comes from a site no one has heard of but ask yourself there are other sites talking about this if its unbelievable spectacular news in just one side is talking about it its a spacious. Split series if you know me to state that theres a limoges teapot orbiting mars or pluto well then its up to you to prove it its not for me to say no theres not i cant prove that it doesnt exist if it is too but. However there is adapted conspiracy theories leave it to others to refute their beliefs planting doubt is enough for them. I believe that humans could have rubbed shoulders with dinosaurs is easier to swallow than the fact that mice and elephants have a common ancestor the creationist movement uses this belief to joyfully discredit the evolution of the species yes you know some creationists have made it into universities and swear in the name of science that badly photoshop photos of storks could be terrible. To hell with science films and cartoons loved the idea of rubbing shoulders with dinosaurs. But you know as soon as theres a division of knowledge i have to trust my colleagues otherwise id have to always repeat every experiment which is impossible. Which fulfill that you feel i think we need to recognize differences and constantly distinguish we need to reestablish hierarchies where there is a tendency to level all sources of information onto the same plane of focus who can give. Decent Information Market revolution has to be accompanied by an Education Revolution to develop truly critical minds that. We all have Cognitive Biases they are present within us no matter how intelligent or educated we are. But you point to extinguish the part of our brains that loves to discover things that is curious and loves to grow. I know it exists. Perhaps the internet paradox is just a pendulum effect between knowledge and belief there are young people who are creatively reinventing networks of qualitatively valuable knowledge but for now with our cognitive bias says the need to figure about critical minds can protect us from the trap of the democracy the gullible.
