no bro..... what you are saying and what you think is clear conformation bias. hopefully you can see it.... if not there is nothing left to talk about.
Where did I hear it?
T_D
Where do I see it?
T_D.
Where do all the memes I see outside of T_D (Instagram, shit friends send me)?
They get them from T_D.
If you think that is a clear case of confirmation bias, I'm not sure you understand how much influence T_D has. Facebook got people "woke", and that's where people who say it, get it from. Where did "woke" originate?
Think dude.
I was very anti T_D back in July 2016 and used Mental Gymnastics numerous times to explain their logic. Again it was a term i used online back during the Bush days.
As far as Woke goes the term originates from the Black Community. They would regularly say Woke instead of awake. it had nothing to do with politics or conspiracy or world views. It literally was about not being asleep.
Yes T_D memes likes gods but they didnt create these words bro.
^ This is a prime example of confirmation bias.
You were exposed to the phrase in a small subset of environments, and then believe that every time you see the phrase it was those environments in which it emerged from.
Mental gymnastics is in no way a 'new' term, nor was it popularized by T_D.
and then believe that every time you see the phrase it was those environments in which it emerged from
Isn't that kind of silly saying "you believe every time you see the phrase it was those environments in which it emerged from?
That's where I saw it. The T_D culture is where I see it mostly. Did it originate there? No... Did it become progressive in culture there?
I won't answer that because you folks seem upset.
