    If we see enough articles about china bad, we can't remember the context and eventually we start to think china is bad. It's called the mere exposure effect. It's bad folks. If only there was some firewall that could block out fake news like this. that would be great.

      The mere exposure effect is the opposite of that lmao. We like things as they become more familiar to us and forget the bad stuff.

        Really? I don't feel any better about HIV than when I first heard about it.

          I’m willing to bet you think it’s less of a problem or no longer the death sentence it was once treated as though. Having said that, it’s social psychology, so it’s all bullshit anyway.

        This has been done (though using a mixture of directional wifi "Milo Tin" antennas and standard routers rather than cables) by a number of groups since the 80s. A useful protest comms technique.
