Some lies try hard to fool you. Others just make it easy for you to believe them.
That’s the danger of cognitive fluency: the simpler something feels, the more likely we are to think it’s true.
In the latest issue of Deceptive Minds, I explore:
- Why fake documents with grainy photos often seem more real than verified ones
- How anti-intellectualism and slogan-based disinfo campaigns thrive on fluency bias
- And what makes even seasoned professionals fall for staged “leaks,” forged letters, and photo ops
💡 The truth can feel complex and overwhelming. But, the best deceptions...are frictionless.
