    • simple explanation – fast and frugal heuristics
      • consumers don’t look at all the options – simplifying strategy
        • if calculate all functions – get eaten
    • apply when not have done so
      • when fast and frugal vs multifactorial – challenge
    • echo chamber – Palestine queers, anti Islamic – shut up
      • takes root unchecked
    • profound and meaningful statements – even though bullshit
      • false system eliminate case of real world
      • allowing ideas – consciousness rise in false reality, parasitic ideas withing parasytic strategy

    • knowledge only 1 game predicting and control the outcome
    • seek truth, prime numbers are prime numbers regardless of who says them

      • the attack left not left
        • lies
      • epistemology of truth devoted to attacking the basis of truth, networks of testing truth, scientific methods, the fundamental axiom
        • there is a knowable reality – access to, biases make it difficult its complex, use of multiple lines of evidence – enables us to check reality predict and control things for our benefit
        • attack on everything
          • bombs of untruths – dismantle – benefit from being theorists, gain the status of power, sacrifice truth, collateral damage trashing truth for their, within the language
