but how much do we question what we see and hear, how deep do we apply the questioning.
Just having a week of all levels of understanding being breached.
This TED Talk is unbelievable and yet I believe it… I am just struggling to set some ads on FB for Creative Arts Safaris, it has been 7 or 8 years since I thought of FB ads and wow now you need a degree just to try and sign up.
I was asked if I was political because they could give me a whole other range of options, NOT political so followed through on the questions
I can choose country, area of country, age, sex, interests to direct the ads to…. whilst I can see it helps me get more bang for my buck it does make me feel a little creepy, how do THEY know all this??
anyway one level of creepy for the week….
This TED talk really freaks me out -Democracy is dead???
India uses What’sApp to spread gossip, unsubstantiated, not open to critical questioning and easy to swing uneducated or poorly educated people.
Take a look at this book I was a Troll
The amount of hateful stories that come through WhatsApp is appalling here in India, although something I read recently is that they are refining their techniques. Now they look at electricity usage in poorer areas [ means little education- govt schools only do rote learning, no critical things or analysis of facts or researching projects, just rote learning] if higher electricity usage, probably has an AC, and so a smart phone and so look for number to add to WhatsApp channels to send propaganda too.
Same thing as the FB use in Brexit but even less obvious.
World over it is happening- use critical thinking!!! Ask questions- is it real or an opinion to hoodwink me.
I’ve started on a new book written 170 years ago by John Lang
