    That is not the same thing as being disproven though.

    Thats like saying ‘trauma bonding’ isn’t real…

    …because most idiots on TikTok incorrectly think it means bonds generated through shared struggles.

    As opposed to what it actually means, which is basically when someone normalizes being traumatized in an abusive relationship with someone who is very manipulative by way of this other person generally offering only negative reinforcement nearly all of the time, with tiny morsels of occasional positive reinforcement handed out only after absurd feats from the ‘trauma bonded’ person.

      I never said it’s not real, in fact if you reread my statement it makes no sense if ones premise was that it doesn’t exist.

        I know, I am just providing an example of another thing that is misunderstood but not ‘false’.

          They fun part here is how they performed a cognitive distortion in a discussion that is based on a theory about a specific type of cognitive distortion.

          Our minds seem to default to cognitive distortions. Turtles all the way down. That’s why the concepts around cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) should be a subject covered through a students education.

          Teaching people to spot “fake news” has become popular it it’s a sliver of a much larger issue. It’s almost certainly one of The Great Filters we need to overcome if we ever want to make out of this solar system.

          Moveis with space travel typically suffer from a sense of ridiculousness that can be tied back to the portrayed society being based on the same cognitive errors of today.

            I 100% agree that CBT should basically just be taught in schools as part of a kind of fundamental ‘how to be a human with thoughts and feelings’ class, lol, before moving onto ‘how to do critical analysis’ and 'how do you know what you “know” ’ class.

            Our brains literally are heuristic-driven hallucination generators.

            We need to make an effort to understand how they function and why and where they often break down, and how to manage their troublesome quirks…

            … otherwise we will just revert to impulsive superstition in an incressingly overwhelmingly complex world, which will then guarantee our being forced into draconian social structures to more brutally manage our unexamined foolishness.

            Our hardware has advanced beyond the default configs of our wetware, and Sagan’s nightmare is becoming more and more realized every single day.
