They see patterns where there are none.

I find this article very interesting-The last couple of weeks I have read a lot of thing my friends has posted on social media-Things I consider being nothing but conspiracy.

This Neuroscientist explain it very well

Quote:

“People who believe in conspiracy theories have brains that are more prone to illusory pattern perception: aka finding connections when there are none.” The culprit behind this could be dopamine. “People with genetically higher levels of free dopamine are more likely to believe in one or more conspiracy theories.” After these beliefs take root, confirmation bias strengthens them.

To this I would like to add what I call secondary belief.

Do my friend really believe these things or do they believe it to stay inside the circle of friends ?
I don't know maybe all of them truly believe these thing or maybe som just believe to "stay inside"

FBI raid on Florida Governor's mansion for human trafficking in 3, 2, 1. Meanwhile Martha's Vineyard could have tied concrete blocks to those fifty illegal aliens ankles and thrown them in the Atlantic and nobody on the left would complain.

AFAIK they are still being held at Camp Edwards, effectively tossed in a cage.

That racist Lori Lightfoot in Chicago had the ones sent there also quickly rounded up and forcibly shipped out of the city.

Meanwhile the likely 2024 Democrat presidential candidate is engaged in a war of words with the Florida Gov over the shipments (to other states) in spite of the fact he had done exactly the same thing when he was mayor of San Francisco with his "homeward bound" program to rid the town of it's unwanted homeless population.

And lets not forget last summers Biden administrations secret migrant flights using chartered aircraft depositing groups of illegals around the country without either the permission or even notification of the receiving state authorities (like NYC's Mayor Stupid is whining for now).

I say good job, keep hanging them with their own hypocrisy.
