I feel I read a report on where you are in the individual process of releasing normalcy bias: Okay this may be true, but all these others are not.

Sure, lots of rabbit holes are dead-ends, many distortions on both sides - gate-keeper and those pushing past them - but as you note, I'll think for myself.

I'd love to see this include a paragraph or two about the other problem...which I've heard called Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia. Though looking for that name now came across it as Betteridge's law of headlines as well. For sure I've swallowed whole some made up stuff along the way the last few years but I think I may still be better off than the more cautious person who stopped at the first pringle.
