Foreign adversaries will try to cast doubt on election results after Nov. 5, U.S. intel officials say

I know plenty of people with technical smarts and high IQs who regularly fall for disinformation scams. Lots of smart people are as prone to believing what they want to believe as complete idiots.

People with strong intuition often make it through life without ever seriously developing critical thinking skills because they simply don't need them.

Nobody pays for troll posts on Lemmy. Lemmy is completely irrelevant

Absolutely. Couldn't agree more.

and additionally the people are above average smart and critical etc. so far harder to influence.

Hahahahahahahaha. Hahahaha. Hahaha. Ha.

Don't clap yourself on the back homie just because you chose the smart people social network because you're so smart.

No one, not a single human on this planet, is immune to influence. Anyone who thinks themselves above or beyond the ability to influence is actually easier to influence, since they won't see the signs of their own manipulation.

Amen!! People need to drop the "You getting paid to post, Troll!!" BS. No on here is getting paid to do anything of the sort.
