Eli5: Why is it easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled?
In: 634
Fooling someone usually just means that you convinced them to trust you and believe you. Super easy if you agree with what they want to hear.
Convincing someone that they were fooled involves getting them to trust you, convincing them to reject their trust of someone they already trust, convincing them that a “truth” in their mind is false, a “truth” that they might have spread and convincing them that what you are saying is actually true.
Then they are embarassed.
