This phenomenon is known as the illusory truth effect.This book investigates the hidden mechanics of cognitive fluency and how our brains mistake familiarity for accuracy. You will discover how politicians, advertisers, and algorithm-driven media exploit this neurological loophole to manufacture consensus out of thin air. It is not a matter of intelligence; the most highly educated minds are equally susceptible to the sheer force of repetition.By exploring decades of psychological research and real-world case studies, the narrative deconstructs the architecture of modern propaganda. You will learn how to identify when your perception is being artificially engineered by external forces.Understand the biological limits of your own skepticism. This guide provides the mental frameworks necessary to defend your reality against the relentless echo chamber of the digital age.
