Woozle Effect/Shape of Stories/Oldest Personal Website/Remote Control Fan

Dear all

On 31st of October 2023 my palm was itching. 

Seeing this my wife said money is coming. 

For those who don't know, itchy palms ✋ mean that money 💵 is coming your way.

Atleast we Indian believe in it. And guess what salary credited in my bank account 😂.

Their are many more such beliefs and superstitions are floating around the world which has no scientific or reliable base.

So, this experience leads to today's term "The Woozle Phenomenon or Effect". 

The Woozle effect is the phenomenon where a false or exaggerated claim is repeatedly cited as evidence until it is widely accepted as true.

This can happen because people tend to trust information that they see repeated from multiple sources, even if the original sources are unreliable.

It has some serious consequences.

- It may be harmful for your or public health. For example, someone who believes that cow urine can cure cancer may delay seeking conventional medical treatment, which can lead to serious health problems.

- False or exaggerated claims can be used to divide people and sow distrust.

- It may erode the trust on science and institutions.

The Woozle effect is a serious problem that can have a significant impact on individuals and society as a whole. It is important to be aware of the Woozle effect and to be critical of the information that you see and hear.
