"They Know that People Prefer a Curated Lie to The Truth because It fits their World View, and doesn’t Anger their False Gods."

I used to think a few of them were telling the truth in the media. There was a time I liked listening to Jesse Waters. He was often clever and insightful. Then there was that short little Danny Devito-sized guy whose name I can’t even remember now, and who sat around in a circle jerk of personalities, one of whom was a big lug called Titus, and who might have eaten the unwary if they came into his reach. All of them were on Faux News.

These days, I think every single one of them is completely full of shit. I used to appreciate Candace Owens, but I also seldom listened to her. I see Tucker Carlson pulling his punches, and Joe Rogan… Jesus! Joe Rogan is just an industry tool. Every single one of them is a liar, or an omitter (no, that’s not a real word), and if they weren’t lying, they would be buried under fifty tons of algorithms like me and a few others; not that my telling the truth is any big deal. I don’t have any control over that, so I can hardly take credit for it.

It helps if you have trained yourself to say, I don’t know.

They let a small number of people tell the truth because they know it doesn’t make any difference. They also know that most people prefer a curated lie to the truth because it fits their worldview, and doesn’t challenge their false gods.
