Who decides what is false political information, tho?

Not this again, please. If you discard opinion like "X is a traitor" and go into the actually falsifiable terriroty it's pretty easy. News says X does Y when they actually do Z.

Example from today: hurr durr EU is going to tax people selling homemade cakes!!!!!111

Actual news: EU taxes homemade cake fairs by e.g. schools which apparently are a thing in Germany where commercial entities can't compete with them on price if there would be no taxation. Individuals won't be affected by this.

You act like the explanation improved it in any way, but that just made it 10x worse. Tax homemade cakes sold on the open market, leave school cake fairs be and definitely don't open them to commercial entities. You say this doesn't affect individuals - my children competing with some business at their school cake fair and having to fill taxes after it definitely affects me and them.

People who aren’t schizotypes.

Who decides what those are tho? And how are they sure they aren’t themselves hahaha! :)

Assume your original response was “You?”, then my reply:

For myself, yes. As we all should do. You don’t?

This pertains to some ‘objective’ metric. Who decides that?

I am one. I got numerous psych evals in 50 years that never revealed it, but it explains why I had all the trouble I had in school.

Interesting. What is a schizotype? What does that mean? Also, do you assess that negatively impacts your ability to make these kind of judgements? How does that label affect how you view you? :)
