i think this helps explain why "you can't tell people anything" problem https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35282293 in that "most people aren’t very good at visualizing hypothetical, at imagining what something they haven’t experienced might be like, or even what something they have experienced might be like if it were somewhat different." Because the new information isn't aligned with their prediction. I think this is leveraged in propaganda to move a population to believe something untrue by leveraging a context and amplifying it. Literally enforcing <i>prejudice</i>.
