Maybe people should have some of those psychological effects.

Maybe operation Timber Sycamore, that bears fruit in Syria right now wouldn't happen, if the population was less trusting of the shit they see on tv.



We have evolved to trust our senses as roughly representative of reality. I'm not convinced we are able to adapt to that kind of rapid shift.

I have not heard of Timber Sycamore until this comment. A quick look at Wikipedia I'm struggling to see the relevance here. Can you elaborate?


Sure. No amount of perception will let you see the financing of Al-Quida or Al-Nusra soldiers. You can't perceive your way out of your blindness. You need to reflect.
