A systemic phenomenon where debunking creates conditions that generate more debunking, forming self-reinforcing cycles. Debunking a claim gives it attention; attention brings new believers; new believers require more debunking; more debunking gives more attention. Or debunking creates a community of debunkers who reinforce each other's skepticism, making them more likely to debunk future claims. Or platforms algorithmically reward debunking content, creating incentives to produce more of it. Feedback Loops of Debunking mean that debunking doesn't just respond to falsehood—it actively shapes the environment in ways that produce more opportunities for debunking. The cure becomes part of the disease.
Feedback Loops of Debunking "He debunked a conspiracy video, which made it trend, which brought it to millions who'd never seen it, some of whom believed it, requiring more debunking videos. That's Feedback Loops of Debunking—debunking as amplifier, not attenuator. The loop means more debunking doesn't mean less falsehood; it might mean more attention, more engagement, more of everything. The feedback loop doesn't correct—it circulates."
