Well, yes, I am somewhat gullible, and vulnerable to spam and phishing attacks myself. But moreso, I live in a society with some people more gullible than me, and I'm vulnerable to be attacked by them acting on concerted misinformation.

In particular, I'm very concerned about future technology making it easier to mislead people into violence like in the case of the Pizzagate attack by Edgar Welch [0].
