== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Misinformation''' β "False" or "Inaccurate" information that is spread, "Regardless of Intent" to deceive (e.g., 'An honest mistake'). * '''Disinformation''' β "False" information that is "Intentionally Created" to "Deceive" or "Harm" (e.g., 'A Propaganda campaign'). * '''Science Denial''' β The "Systematic Rejection" of "Scientific Consensus" on a specific topic (e.g., 'Climate Denial,' 'Flat Earth'). * '''Echo Chamber''' β A "Social Environment" (Online) where a person "Only Hears Opinions" that "Confirm" their own beliefs. * '''Confirmation Bias''' β The "Mental Glitch" where we "Ignore" facts that "Contradict" us and "Love" facts that "Support" us. * '''Inoculation Theory''' (Pre-bunking) β The strategy of "Exposing" people to a "Weak version of a lie" to help them "Build Antibodies" against the "Strong version" later. * '''Motivated Reasoning''' β Using "Logic" to reach a "Result" that you "Want" to be true (The 'Lawyer' brain vs the 'Scientist' brain). * '''The Backfire Effect''' β (See Article 541). When "Correcting" a lie only makes the person "Believe it more" because they feel "Attacked." * '''Post-Truth''' β A culture where "Personal Beliefs" and "Emotions" are "More Influential" in shaping public opinion than "Objective Facts." * '''Fact-Checking''' β The "Process" of "Verifying" a claim against "Evidence." </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
