Wow. Something to think about...

This is called the Darmouth Scar Experiment by Kleck and Strenta.

@JaredJosiah86 Marketing has known about this forever. Just look at the impossible body images women have been taught are the ideal so that people will spend money for an eternity on products that promise to help them become those ideals.

The study :

This is why critical theory is so evil and should be banned immediately. We need to empower people with optimistic thoughts of possible opportunities

Preaching to people that they are all Oppressed IS the Marxist strategy straight out of the communist manifesto written by Carl Marx

And here is another approach…never think of your self as average

I had a long conversation with a man who called me his "Mother of another color." For the first time in my life I felt I could be open about racism. He believed white people are racist and I explained it's a "One brain train" you're riding. If a white person stares at you? It's not because you look like some one they know, like what you're wearing or think you're handsome; you think it's because you're black, that isn't the case. Change your train buddy, get off at the next stop. Many people are like this, it's because your to heavy or they think you're ugly on and on. I frankly don't like looking at undesirable any thing, I will not stare at something I don't like.

Confirmation bias is a programmed manipulation too establish false beliefs as factual reality in over 80% of all humans. Repeat any small snippet of a fact and attach it to nonsensical assertion and like magic , 45% as high as 65% of all our beliefs are in fact, not accurately truthful but biased. And we seek Confirmation of it as proof. Add an echo chamber and things gets dicey, pretty quick.

@VivekGRamaswamy talks about this regularly and I don’t think people are believing him.

@CNforUSA Scary, but very true
