Deception, Obfuscation & Misdirection

This is a concatenation of posts I originally made in 2016-2017--even more relevant today...

Most are familiar with the concept of #FUD—short for #Fear, #Uncertainty & #Doubt. It summarizes a strategy often used in marketing and political propaganda. Its effects are pernicious, divisive and lead to exploitation. Examples abound. Fear is a strong motivator! To resist FUD one must understand how it is practiced using the principles of #Deception, #Obfuscation and #Misdirection.

A Guy Named Brian (he/him)

Everliving God, who strengthened your apostle Thomas with firm and certain faith in your Son's resurrection: Grant us so perfectly and without doubt to believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God, that our faith may never be found wanting in your sight; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

THE IMPLICIT THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE

"Carol Dweck's theory of mindsets deals with implicit beliefs, states of mind that individuals have about fundamental human qualities. A ‘fixed state of mind’ (also known as entity theory) assumes that our character, #intelligence and creative ability are static givens that we cannot significantly change. Talent, according to this conception, would therefore be static, unalterable."

THE EFFECT OF BELIEFS ON GOAL PERCEPTION

"People with a fixed mindset, argues Carol Dweck, have an all-consuming goal of proving themselves, in the classroom, in their careers and in their relationships. Every situation calls for confirmation of their intelligence, personality or character. Every situation is evaluated: will I succeed or fail? Will I look intelligent or stupid?
