Susceptibility to propaganda.
What if propaganda is the exploit of a natural, even beneficial, human process? Belief, trust, faith… we all have to do this. Propaganda just changes the frame around the picture… but there was already a frame there. Compared side by side, both are just frames… Remove the frame, there might not be anything left over.
I would say that I’m not satisfied with how our species handles belief, trust, and faith. It comes down to how confidently someone talks to them, when someone expressing uncertainty to me indicates more honesty rather than the other way around.
Though since I have to at least agree that it’s hard to define exactly how it should change, I can adjust to wishing more people were willing to think critically about things.
