(these are all related I promise)

1. Fiction
People are capable of lying now, but it would be cool if one could write lies into books and poetry!

2. Medical quackery
Fictitious science books claiming the world works in certain ways.
A dwarf would react to this the same way they might react to learning about the sun's orbit. Not that relevant
Though imagine if a dwarf got convinced that they in fact, NEEDED certain things and didnt have them.
This can be certain materials, animals, activities, etc.
So suddenly your dwarves all read a book about how you gotta have silver or youll get possessed or something, and theyre throwing tantrums because of a fictitious unmet need

3. Town criers and printing presses
A town crier would be a person whos job it is to educate the fortress on local politics
Dwarves might get sad if theyre not involved in the goings on of the world
A town crier would also be able to vouch their values, meaning some dwarves would get swayed into having one value or another strengthened
Some dwarves would be naturally gullible, falling easily for the crier's words that rain is good for you, actually, meanwhile some would be natural skeptics, believing the opposite

The town crier would also give out pamphlets and newspapers that could then travel anywhere, educating people about events and influencing peoples opinions
Factions could arise this way, some believing strongly that being outside rules, and the others scoffing at these sun loving babies
