🧵See 7 major points + link below:
🧵No, #fact-checking or #debunking is NOT enough to combat online misinformation - #fakenews can continue to influence reasoning and beliefs, even after it has been retracted/corrected. (1/7)
🧵Originating in the 60’s as a “vaccine for brainwash”, inoculation theory offers a logical basis for developing a psychological “#vaccine” against misinformation. (2/7)

#Opinion
During #UPSC preparation, I had tried 2 #Sources for building #Economy basics/foundation:
❌Ramesh Singh book: verbose, lot of redundant stuff,🔻Benefits/Efforts (B/E)
✔️Mrunal sir's YouTube course: had great explanation, mostly useful stuff,🔺B/E. Not the same now📉.

But, in its present form, Mrunal sir video course has lost its edge/advantage IMHO.❌
Also, many aspirants have enquired about the best foundational source for preparing static-Economy (& other areas).
So, requesting aspirants to Poll/suggest the source they are finding best...

#OTD in 1865 the Thirteenth Amendment passed the House of Representatives, sending it to the states for ratification. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States “…except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."
The amendment ended race-based chattel slavery in America, but did not rid the nation of forced labor, which exists through America’s prison system today. #13thAmendment #Constitution #slavery #HistoryMatters #CivilWar #USCivilWar #AmericanCivilWar #PoliticalHistory #knowhistory
Congress abolished slavery in Washington D.C. in 1862. The Emancipation Proclamation outlawed slavery in rebelling states Jan. 1, 1863 and former rebel states were forced to ban slavery in new state constitutions. Republicans in Congress still wanted a Constitutional Amendment.

The Idea of Zero:
Mathematician Aryabhata was the first person to create a symbol for zero and it was through his efforts that mathematical operations like addition and subtraction started using the digit, zero.
Mathematician Aryabhata was the first person to create a symbol for zero and it was through his efforts that mathematical operations like addition and subtraction started using the digit, zero.
The concept of zero and its integration into the place-value system also enabled one to write numbers, no matter how large, by using only ten symbols.
Ok I'll admit I was curious. I decided to look into this with an open, investigative mind. My first instinct was that this was fake. Follow this thread as I'll go through how I went looking into it... #WWG1WGA #QAnon #GlamisCalling
2/ I started looking through the comments and discovered the original investigation was sparked from this post... #WWG1WGA #QAnon #GlamisCalling
3/ So the website glamiscalling.org looks spooky enough. And look at the posts - all reference events before they happen. How could this be? Esp when the site was only created on Jan 24 2019 #WWG1WGA #QAnon #GlamisCalling
