Dear Şeyda Bostancı ,

What exactly do you want to know about Brexit that is not contained in the description? I haven't checked it that much, but I'd say xenophobia on the one hand (mostly against Polish people or other cheap european labor) and nostalgia for the Empire played a role.

Just a thought to get us started

Best Wishes,

Brexit is a portmanteau of "British" and "exit," referring to the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union (EU). This historic event took place after a 2016 referendum, where the majority of British voters chose to leave the EU.

The main reasons why the UK decided to leave the EU (Brexit) include:

guys, I appreciate your dedication, but would you mind trying not to use chatgpt or the other models for these conversations? or do you get your scores up if you do?

I think it is misinformation. Fake News. People are afraid and don’t think rationally.

Dear Paula Costa , would you mind being a bit more specific? People are afraid and don't think rationally about what?

About the reality that appears distorted to them, largely through social media, which leads them to believe that reality is different from what it actually is. For example, regarding immigration, freedom, and the economy. Critical thinking about what is read and heard is becoming increasingly rare, the ability to read and understand texts is declining, the ability to write texts with multiple sentences is decreasing, and as a result, there is greater difficulty in thinking with some depth, and vice versa.

Is he/she afraid? Are people in the world that cowardly and helpless? The artificial intelligence answered my question. When I read the answer, I was not afraid. I thought that the people here had passed certain levels, but I guess I was wrong.

History writes about the brave, not the cowards.

Best regards,

Dear Paula Costa , many thanks for the elaboration, though I would add to being afraid that some people sought to actively manipulate people's thought through misinformation, such as the 350million NHS claim. Not sure I'd use the concept of rationality as I don't believe in that too much. I would say though that at the political level, both the people and the leaderships who sought to manipulate seem to have harmed themselves massively through this decision (though it could've been otherwise, it could've turned out well, why not? If for example the US presidents or the Indian Prime minister still shared an appreciation for their former colonial masters).

As for British people feeling helpless, I can confirm that in the Occupy movement in 2011 people were slowly feeling more empowered, from a very terrified state of speaking up. Maybe by 2016 they got so empowered that the UK become essentially ungovernable :)

Best Wishes,

Haris
