    The human mind evolved around family or tribe members who’s trust in one another was required for survival.

    We aren’t well equipped to deal with mass media, most of whom are greed driven. I think humans do a good job at analyzing statements that are 100% truth or 100% lies. But when things get mixed, it gets iffy.

    Charlatans understand this. They are priming people by saying truthy things followed immediately by lies to manipulate what people believe is real.

    Imagine the Greeks never building a Trojan horse, they just waited outside the gate. Then the Trojans open the gate for a Trojan pleb returning home from foraging and the army rushes in like the AI in a RTS. Our brains are RTS stupid. We have to be careful who we give attention to.
