    Why are rumours always coming from a “friend of a friend”? It’s the sweet spot between plausibility and risking our reputation if we claimed it came from a friend (or indeed directly from us) if the rumour turns out false—cool study by et al:

    Fake news aren’t that big a deal 1 On the 2019 UK general election “Fewer than 2% of links shared on Twitter during our data collection period were identified as Junk News… Professional News Content constituted over 57% of total traffic.”

    "there is good evidence that tribalism (ideology) is simply associated with different prior beliefs, which leads to biases and blind spots but not ideologically distorted cognitive processing per se" Loved recent commentary on tribalism:

    People who spread rumors instinctively invoke "a friend of a friend" as the source of information, which boosts plausibility.

    It Happened to a Friend of a Friend: Inaccurate Source Reporting in Rumor Diffusion.

    (iv) This preference for attributing rumors to a credible friend of a friend may reflect reputation management considerations. Notably by allowing senders to score social points while minimizing their epistemic responsibility in case the rumor turns out to be false. 5/5

    (iii) Rumors attributed to a single (not credible) friend dominated linear transmission chains. But ecological transmission chains taking into account redundancy allowed the credible friend of a friend to persist or dominate—as it seems to be the case in the wild. 4/5

    (ii) Credible friend of a friend attributions remained stable across multiple transmissions, instead of the number of friends mentioned increasing with each transmission, i.e. participants systematically shortened the sources when sharing the rumors. 3/5

    Key findings: (i) Attribution to a credible friend of a friend increased a rumor’s perceived plausibility, and participants’ willingness to share it. 2/5

    The best talks are not necessarily given by the most prestigious speakers, and are not always on the topics that you’re the most interested in. At the talk I enjoyed the most was given by on the need to include pragmatic in automatic text analysis.

    Our unique ability to recollect specific past events may have evolved to give testimony in the "courtroom" of social life.
