Thomas Sowell explains how people can become so convinced by an ideal that even a tiny amount of supporting evidence feels sufficient. His broader warning is about people who start with the utopia they want and then look for evidence to justify it, while ignoring the laws, incentives and...

I believe mass psychological manipulation is happening to the American people, and I want you to understand one of the mechanisms that can make it possible. It’s called identity-protective cognition. Once somebody can attach an idea to your identity, they no longer have to convince you that the idea is true. They can make you feel that questioning it means betraying your race, your family, your political tribe, your religion, your community, or the people you love. Now think about how dangerous that becomes. Because once your identity is involved, contradictory evidence doesn’t merely challenge an idea. It can feel like it challenges you. And any political party, corporation, media organization, activist movement, religious institution, or other group can potentially exploit that human vulnerability. Black, White, Republican, Democrat, Christian, atheist. Nobody gets some magical cognitive exemption. That’s what makes this so pernicious. The person being influenced may never recognize the influence because defending the belief feels exactly like defending themselves. So in this video, I want to show you the mechanism. And then I want you to ask yourself one uncomfortable question: How many things do I believe because I examined the evidence, and how many things do I believe because somebody convinced me that people like me are supposed to believe them? #AStoneGroove #SilentMajoritySpeaks Libs of TikTok End Wokeness

Bret Weinstein cuts straight to the chase: "We are going to have an endless battle in which those of us who see what we believe is clear evidence of some kind of election rigging or fraud are faced with indignation from a vast array of people portraying themselves as more rigorous and careful who say, 'Where is your evidence? Where exactly is your evidence that there was something wrong with this election?' And we are gonna be caught in the following predicament. No piece of evidence is sufficient to establish that case. And the sum total of all of the evidence contains true things and false things. So it is also no good. So the question is, can you logically deduce that something has gone wrong? I believe you can easily. Can you prove it? No. And not being able to prove it means that the election will proceed. It will be validated by all of the structures, including the courts. And that means that those who take on the power that derives from these elections will be the result of whatever process we just went through, whether it was an election that happened to be anomalous through organic means, or it was the result of some kind of fraud or election rigging. That is not an accident. That is not an accident. And the point that I wanna make primarily is the primary evidence against elections that look like this being organic is not actually in the trickle of evidence that we are actually able to see, the moment by moment vote count that does something strange during the night when some large tranche of ballots is suddenly counted or something like that. The evidence is in the structure of how the elections are actually carried out. These elections are designed to allow fraud that cannot be detected and will not be prosecuted. And that's really the thing that we must focus on." Bret Weinstein

Who Won? Elon Musk Debates Don Lemon Over the Impact of DEI Programs Lemon repeatedly said, “There’s no evidence” that DEI programs are lowering medical standards, a comment Elon Musk believes is a “false statement.” Who is right? Musk calls on Community Notes to settle the score. LEMON: “There was a repost of Ben Shapiro that you claim that DEI is killing people. Specifically, you point to medicine. You claim that DEI programs are putting people at risk. Do you really believe this to be true? And what evidence do you have to support it?” MUSK: “What I was referring to there was that if we lower the standards for doctors, if the test for a doctor is lowered, then the probability of them making a mistake and killing someone is obviously going to be higher.” LEMON: “Wait, say that again. I’m not sure I understand what you said. I want to make sure I understand what you’re saying.” MUSK: “Yes. If the status for passing medical exams and becoming a doctor, especially something like a surgeon, if the standards are lowered, then the probability that the surgeon will make a mistake is higher. They’re making mistakes in their exam. They may make mistakes with people — and that may result in people dying.” LEMON: “What evidence do you have, though, that they’re lowering the standards? There is no evidence of that.” MUSK: “I believe there is.” LEMON: “There’s no evidence of that, Elon. What is the evidence?” MUSK: “I believe they have literally lowered the standards at Duke University, and that is what the article was referring to. You are saying they have not lowered the standards?” LEMON: “There’s no evidence about lowering standards. And I think that there is —” MUSK: “I believe that is a false statement you’re making.” LEMON: “Okay, well, we’ll figure it out.” MUSK: “The interesting thing is, when this is posted on the X platform, there will be a whole bunch of things that rebut what you said and what I said. And so people can then make their own decision, based on the replies and the rebuttals and the community notes.”
