Separately, there is another effect may happen in computer systems dealing with perception. Two sensors may report different information. Yet, there is no conflict. Both of them report accurate information, but information is still different because sensors are at different locations.
Thank you for sharing! I didn't know this term, but this phenomenon is not new to me. Learned this from Friedrich Dürrenmatt's novel "The Judge and His Hangman" ages ago. (spoiler) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jud...
Also, a collection of facts is evidence. Evidence does not necessarily become truth.
Rybka #2?
I think this is why we struggle to get on the same page with maga. No amount of arguing with them or justification will change their opinions. No matter how hard we try. They need a different approach. And last, but not least. I'd appreciate have any recs on the topic of definitions of truth. 🔟/🔟
Because of this some proofs (especially longer ones) may not necessarily be accurate as errors start to accumulate. But these are not the reason to abandon logic altogether. As we see maga just does not believe in logic. And they learn what to think, not how to think. 9/
Another interesting book I ran was Churchman. Design of Inquiring Systems (1971). Logical proofs would be represented by Leibnizian inquiring systems relying on factnets. They are not perfect for many reasons - imperfect knowledge, observations, problems with sampling methods, etc. 8/
Having a proof resolves this contradiction. However, we also should keep in mind that it does not mean something is not true, if is has no proof yet. It just means it is not proven or disproven yet. This is the area where I see a lot of people getting lost. 7/
The subjectivists fallacy may seem to contradict the appeal of beliefs fallacy. As Bertrand Russell said "Philosophers may differ as to the definition of "truth", but at any rate it is something objective, something which, in some sense, everybody ought to accept." 6/
Often, people call it argument ad populum or appeal to common belief or (as this admin says "common sense"). This is one of the reasons we now deal with a lot of bots trying to sway public opinion. On the other end is the subjectivist fallacy often defended using the 1st amendment. 5/
Appeal to beliefs (Moore, Parker (1989)*) is a silent killer of truth in the modern society. * I find books on critical thinking published before 1990 particularly interesting and unfortunately according to library records people stopped reading them in 2000s 4/
This is my thread on it. bsky.app/profile/bulg... 3/
In my mind the difference in definition or understanding of truth drives the epistemic fracture, Eliot Higgins, the founder of Bellingcat talked about. This is his original thread. bsky.app/profile/elio... 2/
Yes! (This is a great thread. Finally I got to a place where I can type more. And please forgive me for numerous replies, but this topic is very important for me. I got interested in it some time ago and not for political reasons). 1/
There's so much more and I need to type a longer comment. My question to you is what are your thoughts on relativism?
People usually have that feeling after a dose of morphine...

I had to look up 'yam tits'. Omg, I wish I didn't do it. 🤢🤮
Are we there yet that we have to thank our Dear Leader that we had a sunrise today?
They are trying to build their systems like Ayatollahs in Iran so that the regime continues to be stable even if the Ayatollah is gone. But it's not easy as it implies making people around the Dear Leader more powerful that they may pose a threat to the Dear Leader.
What would happen with narcissists if they are fired a massive "salvo" at them causing a massive narcissistic injury?
Some senators and representatives started to understand that they are in a lose-lose situation and decided not to run for reelection.
He may want to look up the word 'defenestration'. bsky.app/profile/bulg...

What's going on? He needs this insanity to avoid accountability.

Hey Google. Create me a picture of the Trump competing in a pageant.
That's not about humiliation. They are doing as much as they can afford without blowing up their cover. bsky.app/profile/your...
No. They know what they are doing and they are good at it. It's called sabotage.
He also started sending ICE to arrest those Russians in the US, who oppose the war... and send them back to his friend Vlad. I heard they already sent about 100 people.
"I will end the war in 24 hours"
This is another historical example - Islam Karimov, former president of Uzbekistan. Also, note the dates. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_K...
I should've added /s to the last sentence. I know what's going on there.
Some loyalists believe they are safe if they are loyal to their dictator. The last 10 years of history of the Donetsk region in Ukraine show that it is not the case. Almost all collaborators are dead now. Those groups operate like gangs. Loyalists safety is an illusion.
A flash back from DC. I heard people can finally visit restaurants there 🙄
* 2018.
Oh, shoot... Kobzon passed away on August 31 2025.
Kobzon will have a gala for him soon.
No one would want to marry any maga guy if it's not for money.
Stalin had his picture in his office too... 🤔
Pro-lifers' care for the lives of their children...
Posting this for no particular reason.
It was posted in Moscow in 2016 for Stalin's death anniversary. It says "That one died. This one will die too".
Perhaps, he's busy touching himself. Or couch.
Zuck is still not clear what consent is.
I'm so happy that I purged my account on Facebook and Instagram.
It is. Stop second guessing. Next step is to push brakes on it. Questioning it for too long delays the response until it's too late.

Most likely the data are in the darknet already.
If a foreign power wants to destroy a nation, they would try to destroy trust. This is what this admin is doing to their own nation, which means they do not represent their own nation, but a foreign power.
Well, none of them can even tell what the scientific method is. Nothing that comes out that mouth should ever be trusted.
It reminds me Donetsk in 2012-2014.
By the way, they will say the same "we're all going to die" when global warming they are denying now will catch up. There is no trust in these maga loving politicians.
Those 40% are still hoping to "own the libs" some day while their lives crumble today.
His boss also sued the United States. bsky.app/profile/bulg...
Every other western nation has mental illness and even some guns, but not an epidemic of mass shootings.
In the 2026 elections we will see a lot more than Collins. And that's not just Rs, but some Ds and independents. Choose them based on their track record. Choose them based on what they did in 2025 and 2026, not just what they said they did.
Sabotaging real resistance. I'd like to remind people here that it's common for authoritarian regimes to have "controlled opposition". They oppose something, are not attacked by authoritarians, and don't do anything meaningful to resist.
To those who think if Dear Leader is gone, their problems will be gone. 1. It's not just him causing your problems. 2. He needs to be live and held accountable to the fullest extent of law.
Halligan "quickly became involved in Trump's lawsuit in October 2022 against CNN for allegedly comparing Trump to Hitler" 🤔
If you are paying attention to Dear Leader's large portrait on the USDA federal building in DC and not yet alarmed, you may want to read what is coming next. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Il_...

Some people believe that if DT is gone, they will live free and happy lives. This is a proof they won't. It's not just DT.
Again, "crime" is not what you should think in this context. By "crime" he means dissent, not bending enough for him. He cares less about your safety.
bsky.app/profile/bulg...
On their mind the "crime" is not kissing the king's a$$.
These are the people, who work tirelessly on retribution. What a name! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaponi...
They use appeal to "common sense" quite often. First, that "common sense" is made up. Second, it helps them get away without any meaningful justification.
With tears in his eyes?
People do tend to take the path of the least resistance. They would rather throw their neighbor under the bus than stand up to tyranny.
Dear Leader is talking about "an actual threat to our Democracy". Do you think it is unusual for an authoritarian to say "democracy"? Actually, no. He's talking about his personal democracy, where you do not have a word. Otherwise, the message is an oxymoron.
Happy Birthday! Stay safe!
These guys bulldozed so many social rules just to get rich. They bulldozed the rule of law.
Okay. Hypothetically. I stole $100k from a bank. This admin doesn't care about this crime and who stole what. What the care is about now. And now is I own $100k more. Without any accountability! Do you see now why this admin is not into accountability? bsky.app/profile/atru...

He said it he will go "for homegrowns". Why are people still surprised? He is doing it because he hasn't been stopped with immigration.
This is like with democracy. When the Rs say something, NEVER assume this is for everyone. But they want you to assume this is for everyone. h/t @gtconway.bsky.social
It's unknown what orders will be given in the cities. It's possible they may vary from city to city. The rumor has it that ICE will be deployed to polls in 2026 midterms make them akin to the Crimean "referendum" in 2014.
There's another way to look at it. If you give up too quickly, you will never become "Highly Respected". 🤷♀️ So if you put up a fight, you will be respected at least by one side.
Yeah, there's a lot more. bsky.app/profile/bulg...
Same thing, but without dementia.
Wayfair working with private prisons is facing leopards.
Whenever they say "national", replace it with "personal". It would make a lot more sense. Also, narcissists project their personal issues on everyone. They never care about everyone's issues. No empathy.
Remember, it is not "national security". It's someone's personal insecurities.

!!! "Law-abiding SCOTUS" The US managed to lose it.
These days Republicans typically bunch up when the Dear Leader messes up and needs to get some support.
Corrupt administrations may come in different forms and shapes. This admin is on the dark side - they are ruthless, punish some with no warning or threats, threaten others, but they never reward (no bribes) other than the Dear Leader. This feature has been overlooked.
And it will be even more difficult to appeal and decision there or monitor abuse.
I wish the media used the proper language. In this case uncertainty will be added for the immigrants. But for the immigration officers it will be far less uncertain. Because the will be in a lot more control to choose who becomes a citizen and who doesn't.
1) he doesn't care...
