"Another athlete mysteriously died... was it the #vaccine?" - you might have seen this before.

Media #manipulators constantly hunt for unexplained anomalies they can leverage for furthering their self-serving narratives.

This works because our brains do not deal well with #uncertainty; we tend to overfit unexplained datapoints into stories offered by others.

However, anomalies (fake or real) are just exceptional #anecdotes and almost always irrelevant to a #scientific #consensus on a topic.

" Nobody becomes a #billionaire by accident. You have to have wanted that level of power, control & wealth more than you wanted anything else in your life. They all sacrifice family, relationships, stability, community, connection, and belonging in service of keeping score on a scale that actually yields no additional real-world benefits on the path from that first $100 million to the tens of billions.

This makes billionaires "a cohort that is, counterintutively, very easily manipulated." And they're all #manipulators
and hang out together, which means that when a #conspiratorial belief takes root in one billionaire's brain, it spreads to the rest of them like wildfire.

Then, billionaires "push each other further and further into extreme ideas because their entire careers have been predicated on the idea that they're genius outliers who can see things others can't, and that their wealth is a reward for that imagined merit."

Man, every day I am reminded that #Twitter has become a hostile #information space to #science and #democracy

My feed is filled with Elon-Musk reinstated and boosted #antivaxxers , #conspiracy #influencers, #toxic media #manipulators and other #malicious elements like straight-up disinformation merchants.

This will end badly.
