A Pleasing Amount of Misinformation

Despite the title, I tried to stick to accurate observations about actual, factual information. As I worked on this episode, I attempted to find glimpses of daylight with only intermittent success. These are dark times we are living in. Issac Asimov- Cult of Ignorance. The Big Lie and Liz Cheney. Facebook. Gary Kasparov. No such thing as truth. Facebook is not a credible news source. Rumble. A pleasing amount of misinformation. News from advertisers. Rage engagement. Comfort from conspiracy. Karl Rove on Reality. False certainty trumps honest uncertainty. Efficacy vs. effectiveness. Voltaire: Doubt not pleasant. CDC modified suggestions don’t mean stop washing your hands. Conspiracy without the theory. No evidence; no problem. Clown with a flamethrower. The willfully ignorant using science to dismiss science. Misinformation harming others. Driving drunk without a seatbelt. Liz Cheney, Andrew Clyde and Laura Ingraham. Tired of being owned.
