I think that in the long term that there is one thing going for the truth: It is more coherent and more predictive of what is to come next.

If a country does a campaign that tries to fabricate a story from scratch if they aren't very careful there will be some form of incoherence eventually if there is any slip up. That's why its always easier to just frame the truth in positive or negative lights instead because it removes the need to try and create coherent stories.

And yes I know that there are people that believe incoherent truths about the world but that is mainly because it doesn't actually affect most of the actions that they take on a day to day basis so they don't have an actual incentive to improve their understanding of the world. If they need to make decisions based on that information they will make bad decisions until their understanding of the world has changed or they are out competed by people with more accurate beliefs.

T.L.D.R.

Lies take consistent effort to keep straight and eventually they'll fuck up, Spin is easier and more effective for changing values, and people tend to have more accurate beliefs if they are actually useful to have them.

Unrelated question but why did you not upvote your own comment?

on lemmy.world it automatically does that for you.

FYI I've found that if you download a text expander it allows you to make shortcuts for these kinds of texts making it much easier to add automatically.

Once these get advanced enough and the human cost of starting a conflict goes to zero (because they most likely will be able to scale these to whatever kind of conflict is wanted) why wouldn't countries be more likely to start a war.

Or if most regular military battles only become an economic problem then why wouldn't an enemy turn towards more terrorist like attacks like happened in Russia with ISIS.

Oh wait I forgot lemmy.world isn't federated with beehaw.org anymore so you can't use those communities. Because usually most of the kinds of comments you would be getting would be removed by now.

Well you can get a second account to join beehaw communities or again just reporting and all that stuff.

But honestly I really think you should make a post on [email protected] getting more people to do it because this is the kind of thing that would be interesting to them.

Well I think you could do a few things.

A) Talk to your admin about harassment and ask them to look into this when they can.

B) Start posting in communities that have a higher intolerance to this kind of behaviour (I'm thinking Beehaw communities)

C) Make a post on [email protected] and see if you can get even more people doing it.

I'm actually thinking of adding these to my posts as well now just to see more people's reactions. Do you know of a way to automatically add it to the end of your posts?

Edit: grammar and spelling.
