yea, when I worked before I retired I worked in IT 

if you widen the scope further and include TV, politics, even taste (food, clothes), you soon see that "easy mode" works and Appl$ knows it

imo this is why when I walk out the door I see a wall of zombie clones: same style, same language, same hair, same food, same political ideology

it's like a layer of unreality stamped on top of the real world

if you tell people something is good they will blindly repeat it 

this is off topic but i''ve done this as an experiment many many times with Chinese tea.  an old Chinese lady taught me over about 15 years, including this:  most people if I brew low quality tea and say it's good or the best will agree (imo to not appear wrong).  i can also tell ahead of time which people can't tell the difference and you can too if you start paying attention to people and their lies... sad but true.  

you can confirm all this stuff by challenging people.  many people are accustomed to everyone believing them so they lie with abandon.

they aren't even lying to anyone but themselves and i suspect most believe in the group societal lies

don't shoot the messenger ... people shoot all the time and i find it hilarious 🤣

(me being outspoken again and TMI but...)
