1/5 Apophenia: the tendency to find connections between unrelated things. Just because someone tells you: "Check out Dems and paedophilia. I've already said too much..." does not mean that there is a connection, but it does mean that if you are looking for it, you will find it!
2/5 Everything you look for, you will find a result and when you start wondering why MSM is not reporting it, you forget about Occam’s Razor, namely that millions of entries not mentioning it should outweigh a few entries that could have been created by chimps using a typewriter.
3/5 Anytime you fall for “Do your own research!”, you are creating your own reality based on such a small subset of data points that make you feel great, because you get a dopamine rush for proving yourself right. There is something like objective and provable reality!
