The epistemology of Michael Jackson fans

[LordFall]

It is useful to try to analyze the psychology of low consciousness people like this. I would call this a mix of the halo effect and the ostrich effect. Most people ignorant of the world and what little they know about it. Much easier to think that famous people are saints than to dig into human evil.

It was ok, it does highlight a few things and gives as unbiased a take as you can. MJ fans are saying it was biased against him but I thought they did a good job of just showing what happened.

Theres a bbc doc that goes a bit more in depth that ud recommend, think its called Michael Jackson: an american tragedy

Yes but how far does that go? To me if all this stuff came out, even if it was a family member, id be highly suspicious. The waving away of fans of crazy behaviour to me is quite shocking
