For those not familiar with what the Availability Heuristic study shows about human nature and how we are susceptible to it, you should study it.

A few examples.

Is swimming with sharks more dangerous than feeding cows?

Has violent crime decreased or increased over the last 100 years?

The availability heuristic is a mental shortcut that relies on immediate examples that come to a given person's mind when evaluating a specific topic, concept, method or decision. The availability heuristic operates on the notion that if something can be recalled, it must be important, or at least more important than alternative solutions which are not as readily recalled.Subsequently, under the availability heuristic, people tend to heavily weigh their judgments toward more recent information, making new opinions biased toward that latest news.

Now apply that to how the international globalist media uses that fact in order to push their agenda.

Do you think for example, the typical left winger who insists there is an EPIDEMIC of cops targeting unarmed blacks know the actual statistic in regards to that?

But.....

You have an entire movement, NFL players, entire networks justifying actual violence....due to what?

The actual fact that there NO EPIDEMIC of cops targeting blacks or.....the availability heuristic pushed by the media?

How about THE global WARMING? Do they want to discuss the actual stats? Or.....is it about the availability heuristic pushed by the msm?

That, but with intelligent people, it is often about another factor. Something else we are susceptible to, and that is the power of group think. More precise the power of Conformity.

This has also been studied and showed. In case studies it has been documented that it matters very little of a persons education status. In fact, it actually showed the people with higher educations were actually more likely to conform to a group.

Watch the Asch Conformity experiment for example.
