Familiar with Brandolini's Law?

According to Wikipedia Brandolini's Law, also known as the Bullshit Asymmetry Principal is an internet adage which emphasizes the difficulty of debunking bullshit.

The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that to produce it .

That's why most of the time it's just better to apply Hitchen's Razor

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

@FlowersNButterflies that sounds like a scary combination 😳
I was not very surprised about the number of people from Arkansas who were part of the 1-6 insurrection. @EuphoricTurtle

Trippy · F
@SW-User Indeed. A law practiced here quite often 🤭

The Communists splurge on generating all sorts of misinformation here on the web and also in creation of influence through the now very inexpensive mass crowd reactions.

Here's a better law you can call by any name but it was figured out pretty quick way back when Netscape was a thing.

What you think you learned about the internet from the internet is based on impressively phrased agenda driven content on marginally credible websites, is roughy 98% lies. Because only a dishonest 2% of the internet generates 98% of it's bullshit.

Quite true. It's not worth it sometimes.
Trippy · F
@4meAndyou I agree absolutely

We all need to learn the nonverbal eye roll.
