Some lies try hard to fool you. Others just make it easy for you to believe them.

That’s the danger of cognitive fluency: the simpler something feels, the more likely we are to think it’s true.

In the latest issue of Deceptive Minds, I explore:

  • Why fake documents with grainy photos often seem more real than verified ones
  • How anti-intellectualism and slogan-based disinfo campaigns thrive on fluency bias
  • And what makes even seasoned professionals fall for staged “leaks,” forged letters, and photo ops

💡 The truth can feel complex and overwhelming. But, the best deceptions...are frictionless.

Anything you'd like me to cover in a future edition?

Stay sharp,

— Perry
