Conspiracy theorists drastically overestimate how many people share their beliefs, according to a study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. Researchers conducted eight studies involving over 4,000 US adults and found that while participants believed conspiracy claims just 12% of the time, believers thought they were in the majority 93% of the time. The study examined beliefs about claims such as the Apollo Moon landings being faked and Princess Diana's death not being an accident. In one example, 8% of participants believed the Sandy Hook shooting was a false flag operation, but that group estimated 61% of people agreed with them. "It might be one of the biggest false consensus effects that's been observed," said co-author Gordon Pennycook, a psychologist at Cornell University. The findings suggest overconfidence serves as a primary driver of conspiracy beliefs.

I am on record as not particularly loving JSON as a serialization format. It's fine, and I'm certainly not going to die on any hills over it, but I think that as we stripped down the complexity of XML we threw away too much.

On the flip side, the simplicity means that it's harder to use it wrong. It's absent many footguns.

Well, one might think. But then Hootentoot ran into a problem. You see, an internal partner needed to send them a JSON document which contains a JSON document. Now, one might say, "isn't any JSON object a valid sub-document? Can't you just nest JSON inside of JSON all day? What could go wrong here?"

"value":"[{\"value\":\"1245\",\"begin_datum\":\"2025-05-19\",\"eind_datum\":null},{\"value\":\"1204\",\"begin_datum\":\"2025-05-19\",\"eind_datum\":\"2025-05-19\"}]",

This. This could go wrong. They embedded JSON inside of JSON… as a string.

Hootentoot references the hottest memes of a decade and a half ago to describe this Xzibit:

Yo dawg, i heard you like JSON, so i've put some JSON in your JSON
