A positive personality defends people against fake news.

People with dark and negative personalities believe fake news more often than positive personalities. This is the thing, that psychologists found when they research what kind of personalities are the most vulnerable to fake news. Or is it that, those dark personalities just don't react to fake news? 

There is a possibility that dark personalities don't just react to lies that they see. So they don't mention if they see fake news. And the reason for that is maybe in their traumatic past. 

Maybe those dark personalities are afraid to tell if they see things like fake news. The reason for that is negative personalities afraid that if they are giving some negative feedback or simply saying that they don't believe something those people are closed away from their society. 

The thing is that many negative personalities are advancing when the person gets negative feedback. So that thing causes social apathy where the person would not ever react to lies and fake news. 

When all answers or attention that person gets is negative. That causes a situation where the person will not even want to tell about fake news or participate in discussions. The person will not even want to tell if they see lies or fake news.

So those people do not necessarily believe things that they see. They might not tell that they see lies in some text or video. Negative feedback about their attempt to get attention causes negative people don't even care to say anything if they see lies. 

The reason for that is maybe that people with dark personalities are lonely. They spend more time on the net. They have fewer discussion partners than positive people. 

And then another thing is that fake news is more often negative. So negative people are following negative news. And the reason for that is that people are searching for support for their way to see things. 

Fake news is offering lonely people the possibility to spend more time with things that are not true. But those things offer information that nobody knows first and better. 

When we think of negative personality, we must ask why people became negative. Maybe that thing explains why negative people believe lies more often than positive people. 

Or do they? Maybe the thing is that negative personalities are not saying so often if they see fake news or somebody tells lies in some discussion forum. The reason for that is that those people are afraid that they are closed away from that social network.

Why fake-news are hard to deny?

Why fake-news are hard to deny?

The problems with fake news are quite simple. The main question is "who is right". And in this situation, we would need the facts, what is supporting us. But the main thing is that what if the opponent appeals in emotions? In the case, where against each other are research, what is made by using the empiric methodology, where is used the accepted methods and equipment, and the so-called self-experienced person, those things might make problematic to deny the person, who has the "experienced background".

Or those persons might have strong religious convictions, and other opinions are hurting that sensitive person. Those things are causing problems if we want to deny fake information. And one of the best ways is to use personal loss like ending the long-term relationship for keeping the opponent kindly, and of course, good rhetorics is helping the thing, that the audience reacts with the right way.

Then we must realize that criticism is not a negative thing. Why critics have so negative involving? When we are critically observing research, we must dare to ask, has some people seen all evidence? If we would want to deny some research, we must find the reason for that in the research report. Other things like leadership, personal property, and color of the skirt are meanless.

The error must be found from the words, what that person has put in that report. Has that person use many sources for collecting data, and does that person have access to the most modern equipment, what science has created, and then we must realize that we are not experts in everything in the world.

We are all humans, who are making mistakes. They are not a bad thing at all. But mistakes can become bad things if we don't confess and fix them. We must have the force and dare to look at the mirror and say, that we are human beings. Errors show that we are making our job ourselves. And we all have different interests. Some people are interested in medicine, other in history, and third is interested in technology like rockets or automobiles.

This means that we are facing very big paradoxes when we are talking about the engines. The thing is that nuclear-powered aircraft would not increase the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It can cause radioactive pollution and cause cancer in large areas and change those areas inhabitable for a long time, but it would not raise the level of carbon dioxide.

When somebody is using the images, where is some kind of curves, the other person can just say, that "I felt that thing myself". This is one version of the pseudoscientific thing. The so-called person "self-experienced" is causing empathy. The thing is that kind of thing is really good arguments, and the problem with fake news is that it is ambitious. And they offer simple answers to complicated problems. One of the best answer, what fake news is giving is "just let them be". We cannot make any changes to the world alone, and that's why we must just follow the main flow. Why we should change anything because we are not on Earth when something happens.

In this case, I will use the environment and climate change as an example. I know that somebody expected anything else. There are people, who are denying this thing. So they can go to the jungle, and interview some villains, who are repeating the word "yes, yes". Then they would tell how positive things the rising temperature is to those people, who are living in the houses, what is on the top of pylons. They can say, that they are happy now because they can fish straight from their houses, and when the children would go to school by using rubber boats. We want to believe that thing. Those people have own experience, how positive thing is the rising temperature.

This makes them hard to deny. The negative context is causing interest, and if we have some kind of opinion about the thing, that thing causes that our opinion would get support from the fake news. Let's think about the cases, where a person has just bought a new car. That car is really expensive. Would we want to listen to the things about environmental chancing in that case? Then we see the article, where is a story about the slowing of the increase in temperature. We would read that thing because it will support our opinion, that we cannot do anything ourselves, or we can change bad things to the next generations.

This is the thing in pseudoscience and fake news. If we would start to think about the black holes they are far away. There are billions or at least hundreds of lightyears to the nearest black hole, so let them be. We cannot affect those things. But when we are denying the environment change, we can make two things, we can deny the research.

That is one version, but the second version is that we can say, that the environment changes, but there is the national interest before it. And then the result is that the national interest would be boosted with the opinion, that the generations of the future are not here, and the political leaders would not get any votes from them. So why we must think about them. This means that the thing is one version of popularity.

Fake news and how they are created





Fake news and how they are created

The fake news is made for supporting something. They are created for supporting ideology or some opinion. Most of the faked news is connected with things like medicine, foreigners and other kinds of things. The reason is that political leaders have affected to those questions. They are making laws about those things, and they are personal to some people.

Many times people are asking about the reason, why there is not much faked news about things like rockets and physics. The thing is that those people who are created fake news cannot affect that kind of things like black holes. So why waste time on making things, what does not affect?

The fake news has some purpose and that means that they are considering things, where people who are in political leadership in the nation can affect. When we are thinking about the normal form of fake news, we are facing things, where something has sone kind if costs, but in those things is not mentioned any positive things.

That means that the positive things or things that are supporting the opinion of the writer are used as sources. This thing is called the selective use of data.

And that thing makes fake news very dangerous because many of those things base real stories. But the story itself is strongly filtered. That means that there are only mentioned things that are supporting the opinions of the writer. Many times the fake news is made for supporting some politicians.

The thing is that there is no politician, who has caught that the fake news is made by the order of the politician itself. But the support can be given without asking permission of that politician. And that means that some nations can support the foreign politicians, who please them without telling that to supported politician self.

Space exploration is not science. It is the way to get scientific data, but the rocket itself in the form of engineering. And that means the members of normal nations parliaments have very little change to affect that kind of question.

When we are thinking about the miniature shuttles, there must have some purpose, why that equipment has been built. And the defense department would not tell the reason, why it orbits that kind of systems years in the orbiter because those things are quite expensive.

So nobody in the defense department is not told me the reason, why the X-37B has been built, but it might be some kind of multipurpose system, what can carry nuclear weapons, and act as the HCM (Hypersonic Cruise Missile). But there might have also other roles to that thing, what is one of the most mysterious space systems in the world. Those systems are the national secrets, and that means the data, that is shared is always limited.
