One unfortunate thing here is like …. The world is so complex but the way everything demands your attention requires that complexity to be distilled down and then often rage-bait-ified This leads people to serious misunderstandings that are incredibly hard to correct This article was shared in the BRCA gene (breast cancer risk gene) support subreddit. OP insinuates that this litigation threatens BRCA surveillance care and prophylactic surgeries It absolutely does not. Mammograms aren’t even on the list being debated! To say nothing of the mastectomy/hysterectomy surgeries she alludes to. There is no bearing to BRCA at all. But to learn this, you need to read the article AS WELL AS reference the ACA guidelines — it’s cognitive load, it’s work! And by the time I get to this, plenty of people have already been fear mongered, have a position, are upset. I tried to leave a comment and now I’m depressed no one seems to be reading And this doesn’t even get into the incentive to LIE

I am extremely knowledgeable about all things health related. This is where I have gone deep on my T. But I know that almost assuredly I have been gotten got like this on things outside my expertise. It’s so terrifying. Even dumb shit. Like I totally was fooled by the AI pic of the Hollywood sign burning until @ted told me I had been tricked It’s very tough out there Idk where it all goes

The symptoms of information overload. We all suffer from it, yet talking about it hasn't been normalized. So few are ready to admit they're susceptible to dis/misinformation. What's the "cure", though? Consume less info? Hide in an echo chamber where it doesn't matter what's true? Don't believe anything unless presented with ironclad evidence? Put yourself under such cognitive load that you don't have mental energy to do anything else? It's interesting to read into what the brain does when it's overloaded with information. It responds best to stuff you already agree with or stuff that provokes a strong emotional response. We really need to be talking openly about this.
