Cognitive Laziness

December 14, 2023 Shawn Paul Cosner Comments Off on 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.

About Shawn Paul Cosner 47 Articles
Shawn Paul Cosner writes about civic duty and the kind of leadership that brings the best out of anyone in the room. Much of his work pushes back against the intentional division being sold to citizens as identity — and the corresponding collapse of civility that has made it harder to think clearly, harder to argue honestly, and harder to live as fellow citizens of the same country. He argues that the republic gets the future its citizens deserve, and that the work of building anything better starts with how each of us shows up. U.S. Army veteran. Juris Doctor, Appalachian School of Law.
