ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FRAUD, IDEOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY, THEOLOGY.

—“I’m not sure how pointing out that religions institutionalize echo chambers, in a conversation about echo chambers, means anything like whatever you just said. I’m concerned with ideological homogeneity in all forms. That’s why I criticize it”—

Good point. So what about ideological competition vs simple truth and reciprocity in everything? In other words what is the purpose of ideology other than power under democracy, philosophy other than power under aristocracy, religion in opposition to aristocracy? Why any of them?

As far as I know sophism, pseudoscience, fraud, ideology, philosophy, theology, are just means of avoiding engaging in private (economy) and public markets (politics), in order to obtain something by stealing it rather than trading for it. This problem is undermining democracy.

So, we all create echo chambers and most of the literature, especially in behavioral economics, focuses on various forms of selection bias. The thing is that it’s NECESSARY because groups have different degrees of agency, and the commons is saturated with undecidable falsehoods.

Those of us with the necessary talents are as ignorant of the demands of the common people given our market for falsehoods, as they are limited by dunning kruger in falsifying them. ie: networks of common paradigms are necessary. Our only universal is law of tort (reciprocity).
