“We tend to treat language as an extension of our senses, but it is much more open to manipulation”. Great points in the piece about manipulation, but language as sense extension? Isn’t it a social construct, has to be learned, thus more accessible at the conscious level?

Great article! I'm just starting up an educational initiative pushing for just the kinds of things cited. "Similar research has shown that just prompting people to consider why their beliefs might not be true leads them to think more accurately." Any refs you could point me to?

Reason I ask is I make a big thing of intellectual humility, feel it to be the most important of all the 'intellectual virtues'. But wd be great to see some research supporting my hunch

Do you really think repetition / trending is the way to move a group? People experimented with it & it didn’t work. GMF monitored what RU accounts trended & that showed noise, not the attacks. Repetition does work, but you have to know what to repeat.https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/russia-s-influence-campaigns-may-be-more-sophisticated-than-we-thought-20181218-p50mya.html …
