False Narrative 

False Narrative is as the title implies focused on exploring three major aspects associated with false narratives. The first area of exploration has to do with the longevity associated with false narratives. How these story lines often persists even after the original premise of the false narrative has been proven untrue. In fact, even when presented with the truth–what is remembered by a significant portion of society is the false narrative. (The Benghazi video lie–is one such example, where the public continues to believe in the false narrative rather than the truth.)The second feature of false narratives relevant in todays Hot Button issue of Stolen Election, Russian interference, and collusion is–Vested Interest. How false narrative tend to spawn new false narratives. Vested interest is analogous to a gambler who cannot not walk away from the table–instead of quiting when they are down they double-down. Last FN to be investigated is who creates false narrative. What requirements are necessary to foment false narratives–this is done in the chapter titled Hegemony.Occam’s Razor is predicated on a single guiding principle–relief.By utilizing the principles of plausibility attributed to William of Ockham, OR is focused on addressing the frustration and anxiety that has led to so much anger regarding the Hot Button issues of the day.OR seeks to accomplish this goal by using critical reasoning (not opinion) to create objective insights and context that permits the reader to reach their own informed conclusions.
