The Spreading Of Misinformation Online

[Michael Scally MD]

The researchers conclude that the diffusion of content generally takes place within clusters of users known as “echo chambers” — polarized communities that tend to consume the same types of information. For instance, a person who shares a conspiracy theory online is typically connected to a network of other users who also tend to consume and share the same types of conspiracy theories.

This structure tends to keep the same ideas circulating within communities of people who already subscribe to them, a phenomenon that both reinforces the worldview within the community and makes members more resistant to information that doesn’t fit with their beliefs.

Dr. whats your opinion on using only Nolvadex for PCT for a 12 week Test E only cycle. Is it really necessary to use Clomid with Nolvadex?

That's what happens. It hasn't been many years since credible information was made available. Blame the DEA.

Sounds like a fairly trivial observation, a stagnant reference base will not get any new info. A library full with books published before 1900 will give you a weird worldview.

This reminds me of the NYT, New Yorker, CBS and other media outlets, they feel devoid of fresh thoughts.

Not that I agree w rich piana but I do like the idea that he learns from experience and not what people write on the Internet.

Instead of going by the hard rules we read on the Internet he tries shit for himself and if it works he's keeps doin it. If it doesn't he moves on.

But just to be clear he's a tool bag

[W]e can leap to false conclusions in our (human) desire to confirm what we already know. As a consequence, our understanding of any subject, whether it is a rule for increasing numbers or a complex explanation for say, obesity, injury, or performance, is limited by how capable we are of recognizing what is not always obvious and accepting that our rule may not be the rule.
