What a load of pretentious garbage! In reality any information retrieval system has both false positives and false negatives; the only way to completely avoid false positives is to not return any results. There is a reason confirmation bias exists: no one has time to process every piece of information in exquisite detail. The key is to update your perspective when incorrect. Moreover, not every piece of information is equally important. There is an entire literature on generating persuasive statements, and computers are almost certainly being used to do so. Being wrong in this particular case barely changes my overall world view.

Pretentious, lol. I'm encouraging you to find other sources, especially when coming from a fucking templated tumblr blog that doesn't source ANYTHING. You honestly are okay with that? What would you say if I presented trumpcolluded.im4everwithher.com and showed you a post about some left group that gained evidence by hacking or something? But they don't show the evidence, they just explain it. Come on, dude. I'm being pretentious by suggesting you make sure you have your facts straight, even when they don't support
my side. That's literally the opposite of pretentious. LOOK IT UP.
