In an article written by Jeffrey Kluger, " I know the truth, So dont bother me with facts." That people dont like to be wrong when they are being corrected even thoe the facts are there.for example, If I was painting my room with the color red, and you say its maroon and I ask five people what color is on the wall. Everybody says red! nobody likes to be wrong. Just like the rumor that was going around that a mosque was going to be built on ground zero. when this rumor started to catch attention, people where angry and discusted even started a protest that this was a sacred place and it should be respected.But in fact the mosque was not actually being built were the twin towers stood.People just herd rumors and right away thats when the problems begin.
For example When the plains hit tower ( 1 ) and ( 2) there was a rumor going around that the towers structure were to strong, there is no way a plane could take out these mega structures. Also that not the Talibans were responsible for the fallings of the towers but the Americans.supposely, the planes were flown by remote control.It seems that when people are shown the facts, the evidence is not enove to tell the story.
Upon futher review, R.Kelly Garrett indicates that when " studies showing that when subjects are presented with data that contradicts their beliefs they often respond by sticking to their biases even more strongly". So if i tell you 4.4 = 16 and you keep telling me that is wrong. It quotes " Some investigators are looking deeper, conducting studies of the brain to see how the prefrontal cortex, the seat of the reason.
