Cognitive Laziness

When people assume those who share likeness possess knowledge. This allows what is promoted to be accepted with little or no attempt to verify the accuracy of information. It is a detrimental choice to assume what was consumed is absolutely correct without the need to obtain the critical perspective. Trusting the source removes the need to verify information. When people rely on a source in a position of authority, the end results are fractures in society represented by division, intolerance, and hate, relied on by leaders who take advantage of the goodwill in people.
