My SOTU Address

This will be pretty to the point….I find the fewer words garner the attention that it needs to get

Hypocrisy: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform.

Illusory truth effect: the tendency to believe false information to be correct after repeated exposure.

Confirmation bias: the human tendency to lend more weight to information that supports what we already believe, and less weight to information that contradicts it.

Humans, particularly less traveled, less cultured, less exposed, less secondarily educated tend to be very one minded in their thinking. They feel if they entertain a new perspective or idea, it unravels their lifetime of beliefs. They think out of fear and conformity. No deviations are allowed. They are easily swayed by fear tactics. Easily riled to loudly support their beliefs without any consideration to facts, alternate ideas, or other possibilities.

This has went on since the beginning of time, and it will likely never cease completely. In a time of more resources than ever, we see people retreat and grasp harder and harder to the “old ways and ideas”.

Groupthink: the practice of thinking or making decisions as a group in a way that discourages creativity or individual responsibility.

Complaining without a working solution….is just complaining and adding to the issue.
