Confirmation bias and facebook alternate facts.

Facebook philosophers will support their points with the first page results from their google search.

I have 11 people “muted” on Facebook. Meaning, we are still friends, but i dont ever see what they post. Naa man i dont wanna hear about what Trump is doing wrong. I dont want to hear whatever you dug up to make you sound more informed fam.

Age old debate. Cold weather makes one sick or not. I say it doesnt, germs make one sick. But check it out, the search on the right “why does cold weather make me sick” gives proof to support cold weather making one sick. Boom, in a heated FB debate just search for an article that proves your point and drop it like its hot on someones timeline and you win! Youre a genius because you found a article on the internet that supports your argument. You didnt even look for the inverse. One should attempt to disprove their own beliefs to fortify their stance.

Not just you should win. Lets win.
