The Undeniable Street View
Incredible project under dire circumstances.<p>But is not Undeniable.<p>I spent some time talking to groups of denialists. Conversations are something like:<p>- Hello, your creed is not real, because [some facts].
- These facts are not true, it's fake created by [nasa, globalists, etc]
- It's not fake, because [some facts about facts]
- You get paid by a [globalists, nasa, etc]<p>In some cases, some of my "imagined characteristics" are used to accuse me of something. My profile does not have this information, the person takes it out of nowhere.<p>- You are defending [male, gay, female] because you are [gay, male, female, cis, etc]<p>At the end of the day, the facts don't matter, it's important to stand up for something:<p>-Your data is wrong, it's not 53% of x or y, it's 0.3%.
- 0.3% is important anyway, it is not changed.
In the case, 0.3% is irrelevant.<p>Goals change.<p>- See, some facts:<p>- And, about [something else, not related to the lecture]<p>Basically, I see three types of denialists:<p>- The lonely person looking for some community. The community replaces other traditional groups like the church. These people will defend the creed, often without understanding it. It seems to be 80% of all denialists.<p>- Rich people with some Christian/capitalist guilt.<p>- People with a real mental problem<p>- People who know the truth but earn some money from the creed. These people keep denial alive by creating factoids when they can.<p>I don't talk to these people anymore. I don't know how to help them and in the end it can be very stressful and sad.
