You called us fish who bite on the hooks of cheap signals, and I found that funny. We used to be those fish, unaware of what hooks we were biting on. Thanks to the work in this book, we can be more aware and not fall for those cheap tricks. You also talked about Google sensing bias. I feel as if that is something I should have known beforehand just from experimenting, yet I never noticed. Your post reminded me that Google is a search engine and not a truth engine. It “munches” on our bias and spits back what it thought we wanted. We have to learn to be aware of our own biases, prejudgments, and word choices in order to properly navigate the web.
