If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. - Joseph Goebbels
Joseph Goebbels, a prominent figure in Nazi propaganda, suggested that a bold lie, when repeated frequently, can lead people to accept it as truth. This statement highlights the psychology behind misinformation and its potential to shape public perception. It underscores the importance of critical thinking and skepticism towards claims that may not have a factual basis.
In Gregory Wrightstone's book "Inconvenient Facts: The Science That Al Gore Doesn't Want You to Know," this quote is particularly relevant as it addresses the manipulation of facts in the discussion around climate change. Wrightstone aims to challenge prevailing narratives by presenting alternative data and arguments, suggesting that many accepted views in climate discourse may be based more on repetitive assertions than on empirical evidence.
