I don’t know about y’all, but if I grew up in a country that never has the news criticizing its leaders, I’d be very skepical and deduce that there is censorshop going on and the offical news could be exaggerated or entirely falsified. Do people in authoritarian countries actually just eat the propaganda? To what extent do they believe the propaganda?

    nobody ever changes their behavior on the strength of the evidence alone.

    Simply not true, at all. People change behavior based on evidence all the time.

    Critical Thinking requires a totally objective perspective, and emotion has no place in it.
