Why are people so incredibly gullible?
www.bbc.com/fut...
"If you ever need proof of human gullibility, cast your mind back to the attack of the flesh-eating bananas. In January 2000, a series of chain emails began reporting that imported bananas were infecting people with "necrotizing fasciitis" - a rare disease in which the skin erupts into livid purple boils before disintegrating and peeling away from muscle and bone."
Why Does the Vaccine/Autism Controversy Live On?
discovermagazin...
"Vaccines do not cause autism. That was the ruling in each of three critical test cases handed down on February 12 by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. But these rulings, though seemingly definitive, have done little to quell the angry debate, which has severe implications for American public health."
Making The Truth Stick and The Myths Fade: Lessons from Cognitive Psychology
www.researchga...
"Erroneous beliefs are difficult to correct. Worse, popular correction strategies may backfire and further increase the spread and acceptance of misinformation. People evaluate the truth of a statement by assessing its compatibility with other things they believe, its internal consistency, amount of supporting evidence, acceptance by others, and the credibility of the source."

even better there was no ark.
niels smits Well that can be debatable, Christians (especially Catholic) believe that there is an ark because there's a story in the Bible about it. However, this belief varies in different religions and atheists (non-religious) likely believe that there was no ark
niels smits W00t lol thanks for this one.
James Gordon you can't say something is debatable is there's no evidence for one side (that it didn't exist), doesn't matter if people think it's true
Hebii Well maybe not debatable but what I'm trying to say is that some believe that there is an ark because of the info in the Bible while atheists who likely don't believe in the Bible say that there is no ark
that depends the way the question is asked, imagine someone ask you how many rings Sauron distribute to the men? will you really answer that there were never any rings?
and when you have to resume the story of a book, do you say: nothing happened, it is all fake.
When I think of fake news, I think of CNN.
I think of InfoWars, Breitbart, and Fox.
1st thing that comes to mind when I think fake news is AJ+, NowThis, OccupyDemocrats, or any other biased news
PeeZzz Clinton News Network
I think of Fox, Breitbart, and other conservative news organizations. They are all by far the most bias. So-called liberal news outlets actually don't report bias news, compared to conservative news organizations which consistently rank among the most bias, like Fox and Breitbart who have idiotic brainwashed viewers.
And The Wall Street Journal.
90% of what we watch, listen to and read is owned by 6 companies. That’s a large percentage to just be divided by a factor of six. 30 years ago 90% of media was held by 50 different companies,which is what most people would assume it would be now, but thanks to mergers and buyouts, it’s down to 6 major companies (until someone else buys another). The reason we never find anything new on TV is that 70% of what is on cable is owned by the ‘Big 6.’ That’s 1 out of every 5 hours of television. Comcast now owns 51% of NBC, while GE owns 49% (even though the infographic states that GE owns Comcast), further controlling the market with a top cable provider and a top cable channel.
Here is another infographic depicting how much of the market the Bilderberg Grouphas an impact on by letting these major corporations network with each other. If you aren’t sure what the Bilderberg Group is, it’s an annual, unofficial, invitation-only gathering, where powerful companies meet and discuss the current happenings.

+Fat Kat, You probably don't know that you're spouting propaganda meant to obscure journalistic censorship.
FrequencyOfThought but I was told not to trust google search......sigh ignorance is bliss.
So instead of watching news produced by a bunch of professionals I should read what uncle ed posts on facebook. Simple enough.
Lately the censorship is blatantly obvious. Their algorithms aren't yet perfected enough to drown out EVERYTHING which is effective at calling them out on their own games. In turn that would make the engine ineffective at searching for what you are looking for and they would start losing too much market share in the search engine world. It still needs a level of reliability to be credible.
Which one of the big 6 owns this channel?
I could have sworn you were talking about CNN :/ the clickbait was very strong on me
Lime Lives Matter he was talking about Trump, as to how his members are taking advantage of the gullibility of the public,and people also believe in it rather than believing in facts
keshav bansal I think I get it....so he was on the subject but decided to be subtle about it....very smart of him
Lime Lives Matter yup
keshav bansal And I think he's talking about how mainstream media brainwashing people, not Trump
Lime Lives Matter he is talking about how peoples' gullibility is exploited by some people, you should believe in facts not in what a person tells you, also Trump is a lier man, i am not going to say anything more about him, and as far as media is concerned they cannot show anything that's fake/unreal it's unconstitutional, for a democracy media is very important, for dictatorship taking media down is very important, you can also attack on judiciary if you have peoples' support, but hey just saying that then it would not be democracy

I said Project Veritas because I support them. Calm down, CNN is trash.
I used to say I don't believe anything I hear and only half of what i see. Now I say I don't believe anything I hear or see. I wish I could escape human society.

HEY... hey... don't forget the reconstituted plastic that makes up 100% of it.
"Hey it says gullible on the title."
"Hey so it does oh you stole my lungs."
How am I supposed to believe in even this news 0_0
I used to be gullible but now I don't trust anyone or anything without doing my own research.
Wow an unbiased video
Not necessarily unbiased, but to their credit they managed to be apolitical about it.
They're no doubt motivated by MSM's version of "Fake News", but they didn't accuse either side of it.
Guy 1: Hey, it says gullible on the ceiling. Guy 2: Oh, so it did- aww you stole my lungs.
The cure for this is actual thinking...
This all started because of WikiLeaks content.
Step 1: Blame Russia!
Step 2: Fake News!
Step 3: ????
Please tell me you were paid to write that bs?
bksst I'm not good at debating but I'll try to elaborate. I think that WikiLeaks exposes some unfortunate insights into processes of the Democratic parties offiliates. Instead of focusing on this important content we're stormed with fake news awareness pieces and Russia blaming pieces. Im not sure what the media would do next to divert our attention from this content. Hopefully that explains my viewpoint better. With all due respect I don't think its bs.
Jason Shannon - I appreciate your attempt at rational discourse which is uncommon with people sharing your particular set of opinions. I have to respectfully disagree. It's been proven by our intelligence agencies, even the FBI which seem to back Trump in several instances, that Russia was involved in both a hacking and propaganda campaign against the DNC. That is why they blame Russia. Fake news created by a hostile/foreign government has been exposed and it influenced many gullible/angry constituents. This has never happened in the US and you request the media to stop covering it? You ask we focus on this important content that was hacked but they covered everything they could find but there wasn't much there. Meanwhile, we have a president that wont take the most basic step of releasing his taxes (like all presidents have been doing for a very long time).
Look at all the controversies involving Trump/Republicans and thats before any hacked information is released but here you are requesting the DNC reform itself. Thats where my BS comment comes from.
Nice propaganda about autism and vaccines not being a thing. Sometimes I *really like* your videos and other times I wonder if either you are sticking with the establishment's view without actually researching something or if you are part of the establishment, as a group.
Science is now propaganda, are you a Trump supporter because the symptoms are there?
I have a feeling you misread what I typed.
OK, this is a science channel, so it's quite disturbing that you chose the "Noah's ark" story as an example. The correct answer should have been 0 because the ridiculous child's story NEVER HAPPENED. Disappointed!
fake news? keemstar?
Guy of reason lol

Hotel? Trivago?
This is awesome! More critical thinking is needed here.
Notice the very people who appear to be light exposing darkness are often deceiving us themselves. They want us to trust them instead of thing for ourselves. Group thought vs independent thought.
I was expecting to see the Fukushima conspiracy theorists all over the comments talking about DNews being fake.
It's difficult to not think of people that think the earth is flat as stupid.
And this is why i thoroughly check the citations and research the subject being reported on.
“Sincerity is No Friend to Pompous Ambiguity”
This comment section is awful. Enter at your own risk.
So... did I piss anyone else off that his left sleeve is messed up? Or... does it now annoy you since you now notice?
Fantastic. "Gullible" has been in my political lexicon for a while now. Thanks for using it. Keep in mind we are not all created equal. And while we _might_ have a level playing field of predisposition to a certain trait or behavior, these can be changed over time. For example, a more cosmopolitan person is going to have a more well honed attention to deception and indications of trickery, those from small town or village, will not have had the same accumulated exposure to these signs, or tells, that time and experience provides in shorter time, simply from the number of new persons he or she is being presented with. Hometowners, or heartlanders, live in a much slower interaction pace, so fewer opportunities to learn about, and adjust to, fakers, liars, cheaters, etc. This is exactly how president #45 was selected. They were gullible and did not see the traits and behaviors in #45 that instills in the more experience brain a feeling of absolute dread. There is only one thing we need to know about that man, and that is his psychological profile.
One of the major reasons for gullibility is bias: most of the time we share fake news knowing it is fake; we want others to fall for it as we want truth or facts to be democratic: the more people believe in them the truer it would look. One of the lousy arguments you'd get to hear is "so many people believe in them, do you think all are mad?"
It's always funny when fake news says other news is fake news

WHAT ABOUT TRUMP?
Fat Kat, his administration also killed the government regulating poisoned pet food. Hope you still got your 9 lives.
Even Noah didn't put animals on the ark because there wasn't an ark and wasn't a Noah.
That's correct. Neither Moses or Noah put 2 animals on the ark plus it wasn't 2 but seven (of the clean animals). The seven animals didn't happen either. A lot of false information is told to us. Believe it or burn.
Actually there was and Noah did exist.
Along with Gandalf the Grey.
Nice start, Julian. I like how your opening example was drawn from one of the oldest fake news sources around.
OMG I caught the error at the beginning
I've gotten the Nissan President's Day commercial for this video six times.
Who's watching this on February 23rd, 2017?
How much did you get paid to add in those lines?
So thanks for putting the links in the notes.
"Wild dogs need leashes."
Sooo... Learning's pointless? Because we could be being lied to, this video could be a lie and I could just be gullible. Urghh my head hurts
If you want to really be free don't join any groups just keep your eyes and ears open and learn from all the mistakes
Noah didn't exist, he was just a Jewish myth retelling of earlier Mesopotamian myths (ex: Utnapishtim and Ziusudra) to put a monotheistic spin on them.
this explains why so many people believe human activity can change our climate.
,
I like how you put the word "gullible" in the description.
;)
Welcome back Julian, we missed you.
Yeah, I saw that too! :)))))))
With the Ark question, I was more focused on the fact that there were more than 2 of every kind of animal taken onto the Ark. It was 2 of every unclean animal and 7 of every clean animal. Didn't know that one for years and only thought it was 2 of every kind of animal like is commonly taught.
I think its different when a media source intentionally puts out pieces of stories in order to make it seem as if a sirten something happened when in reality, it all went down a completley different way.
Couldnt of said it any better my friend.
Well, when you're watching at 2x speed, mistakes are easier to miss.
I detected the error...
You got me on the Moses cause I didnt pay attention. XD
"remember Adam... everybody lies"
Stop making me angry with my gullibleness
I love how it seems that everyone has suddenly woken up.
It was Russell Crowd.
Now ear ear, no fake news ear! Urrrr, i mean....
Super spot on. Thank you for this.
Genesis 7:23 -- “You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male and his female; two each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female; also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth."
0:16
the correct answer IS zero
because it never happened
I though Moses was a bull frog... No wait.. that's Jeremiah.. my bad.
well dang... I haven't fell for that up until now. mabye it's because I expected the question to be straight foward because yall make videos about information, but I geuss that I forgot that yall mainly focus on science. so yeah you got me
It's a miracle! I found someone who (at least appears to) has a stronger glasses prescription than me
Gullibility is why NASA still exists
That first mind trick, could it also be because of language difference, because I never fell for this one in Dutch but you got me completely in English.
expose anti white agendas
Moses, Noah and Daffy Duck put roughly the same number of animals on any ark.
The links to which you point do not appear on my version of your shows.
I fell for the Moses on the Arc bit, but when you were explaining it and said he didn't take any, I thought you were going to say because it didn't happen lol instead of catching me on my error.
now i dont know what to believe
Have we come full circle yet?
NASA makes a big announcement about new closer planets, and you talk about YOUR parent company's effects on the population.
Where was this video 6 months ago .. Smh
Its called Propaganda, mindless automatons.
Confirmation bias is the root of all evil.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! YOUR LEFT SLEEVE IS FLIPPED UP!! 0,.,0
I'm too smart.
An airplane crashes on the border of Canada and the US, where do you bury the survivors?
Very refreshing to watch a center based, state of conventional wisdom, especially one that the primary audience is a younger . Peace
So lies that are repeated often become more believable? Lies like "diversity is our strength" and "race is just a social construct?" :-)
And Noah took two of every unclean animal and seven of every clean animal. Most people miss that, too.
What's the difference between a clean animal and an unclean animal.
_SylvesterSan_ Deuteronomy 14:3-8
3 You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the chamois.
6 Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof split in two and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat.
7 Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof split: the camel, the hare, and the rabbit. Because they chew the cud but don’t part the hoof, they are unclean to you.
8 The pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses.
And then the text goes on to talk about birds and fish and such and which of those are clean and unclean. But most likely Noah was bringing in his farm animals and some of the local wildlife, I don't think the fish and eagles needed Noah's help, and I doubt there as an aquarium on the Ark anyway.
The only news you can really trust is local news. There isn't really any reason for there to be any bias around it.Most of the time its just reporting weather and people getting incarcerated though.
Seeker should do a segment on what the hell is up with all these flat-earth conspiracy people. I thought it was a total joke at first but no, there's a crazy amount of people who genuinely believe it now!
Who decides which new is and is fake? Surely it is up to an individual's critical thinking to decide what is and isn't fake.
Nobody took anyone on an ark
Cultural bias occurs when people of a culture make assumptions about conventions, including conventions of language, notation, proof and evidence. They are then accused of mistaking these assumptions for laws of logic or nature. Numerous such biases exist, concerning cultural norms for color, location of body parts, mate selection, concepts of justice, linguistic and logical validity, acceptability of evidence, and taboos.
Such as believing the entire internet to be Christians and expecting them to understand the differences between Moses and Noah.
There are people who believe The Onion is real news. Good luck trying to enlighten people to the facts.
I spotted the error in the question straight away. But then again I am a Christian and have read this story countless times 😂
What causes autism, and why is the rate of the illness increasing?
Propaganda 101, folks. Pay attention...not that it matters.
what's happened now is idiots who are uneducated call anything they dont agree with as "fake news" when it isn't. they take a real concept and butcher it
I found out living on this Earth is we will believe anything more so now than ever because of all the fancy technology we have
At 11.30 pm on 31st Dec 1999 I rang the Metropolitan Police information line and asked: Is it the Millennium tomorrow? The reply was "No". When is the Millennium? "Jan 1st 2001 ... but 99% of people believe its tomorrow. It's best to go along with it".
A few days later I placed a sandwch board in a prominent position in Hampstead, London, which read WE ARE STILL IN THE 20TH CENTURY (all the newspapers were saying tbat the 21st had begun). I asked passers by if they agreed with my sign ... nobody would talk to me. They looked at me as if I was mad. The Millennium was the biggest mass brainwashing the world has ever known.
In August 1999 I'd rung the BBC and asked a supervisor when the Millennium was. She said: "1st Jan 2001". When I asked her why the BBC was telling people it was 1st Jan 2000 she said: "We've got government permission."
Then came the 'Fake News' in the run up to the Iraq War (97% of Iraqs will welcome the invasion).
If Trump wants to have some fun he should declare that the 21st century began on Jan 1st 2001 ... that's assuming he wasn't taken in by what happened back then himself.
With the Moses / Ark thing, I must admit I wasn't really listening properly, I just caught animals, ark etc and I guess my mind filled in the gaps.
*Wall Street Journal*
Where did trace go?
Who pays DNEWS to say this and much more?
no amount of animal was put on an ark.
Our brains accept information in chunks: i.e. if you wave a long ruler over a home movie projection, our brains will fill in the gaps and end up processing it all as if we were looking at it on a white wall. The same with our television sets (especially the old CRT boob tubes)- the screen is filled by lines: odd numbers first; starts at the top again with even numbers. This process is so fast, our brains process it as one solid screen until you watch a news program when they show someone watching television... the screen violently flickers.
My point is here--that is how our brains accept information. When we are not fully 100% concentrating on the actual event (in which we all do about all the time), we lose things in our short-term memory; hence, mismatch information as you have proven in your example. This in itself has nothing to do with intelligence due to the fact, anyone can be fooled by our brains.
I wonder if folks ever question the headlines posted on Yahoo News? It would be laughable if it wasn't so pervasive and left of center biased!
Maybe its not fake news, just alternative news. 😉
reality itself is fake, like come on
it's called an alternative fact
I just imagineg horned Moses, collecting all those animals... horned animals? That`s why they folloved him? They just thought he is leading the herd... AWW :D
