RE: A Day in the Life of a Shill Doctor
I've read similar articles about cognitive bias!
I have often thought the same thing. It's much easier for people to believe that they're being conspired against, than to recognize that their efforts for health/ wealth or success have been insufficient. I'd also say people under-appreciate how much of a role luck plays in become successful and as such they rather a 'fair' explanation than to accept that it's not always a matter of people who work hardest becoming the healthies/ wealthiest or most successful.
Unfortunately a lot of people with odd ideas band together in echo chambers on the internet, so the best chance I think we have is addressing them in irl. At least then they're prepared to listen sometimes.
Thanks for commenting!
