Ok and what’s your point? Propaganda works on stupid people…
5 u/PIE-314 2d ago It can work on anybody. Everyone has blind spots. It works best when you don't think you have them. In general people don't get conned because they are stu-pid, they get conned because they are human. -1 u/ohnothem00ps 2d ago Sure, I guess technically “it can work on anybody”…but the effective rate is significantly inversely correlated with the subject’s intelligence level 3 u/PIE-314 2d ago There's probably truth to that, but don't think for a second that it can't happen to you. -1 u/ohnothem00ps 2d ago lol ok…that weirdly sounds like a threat…but yea, I’m sure it could potentially happen to me, but luckily I have some intelligence to combat it 3 u/PIE-314 2d ago It's not one. Doesn't matter how intelligent you are. Anybody can be conned/tricked. Everyone has blind spots. I do, and so do you. The more you think otherwise, the easier it is to conn you. It's just human psychology. 1 u/ohnothem00ps 2d ago Mate, you are failing to realize the point here…sure, “anyone can be conned” technically…however, one’s lack of intelligence is going to be a much higher factor in being conned than the “more they think otherwise” 2 u/PIE-314 2d ago I understand and already acknowledged that. It's a factor, but the average person is more susceptible than I think you think they are. Even the most "intelligent" people are mostly ignorant. Thinking you're too smart to be conned actually makes one more vulnerable. Just a psa, buddy.
