It’s scary how vulnerable everyone is to this kind of thing.

It makes me wonder what would happen if I watched YouTube videos every day that were misleading but well produced.

Would I eventually end up the same way?

How damaging is just repeated exposure and reinforcement to this kind of stuff? Is everyone vulnerable?

Even being scientifically minded and trying to be a good rational thinker, the way otherwise intelligent people are corrupted scares me.

It makes me extra cautious with what information I choose to expose myself to.

I do take some comfort that I was able to throw religion away even while growing up surrounded by it as a child.

I hope that means there’s a way to be more resilient to misinformation.
