I KNOW THE TRUTH



     In the passage "I know the Truth" By Jeffrey Kluger; states that as humans we have always been suckers for rumors and fabrication of fairy tales. Researchers have only recently conducted a survey to determine how sticky artificial beliefs are and how believing in them would make us free. The study also found that out after a number of tests were performed that at least one rumor was believed more than the others, the entire research was done to determine if the exposure of the facts would change the opinions and if so how would it be presented. As the facts were gathered the researchers came up with a number of conclusions to what would happen if the facts were presented. It was then said that it would be easier to manipulate the truth in order to get what is needed. I agree with author when he says "even when people take the time to learn the facts it does no good", this is because we often contradict ourselves where the truth is concerned.
