Can someone do the disinformation analysis? How many posts, to how many ppl for how long? The numbers will be astronomical. We need to wrap our heads around the scale of this espionage of the psyche.

I just saw a tt post where a gentleman was talking about how cold it is and they are sleeping in tents because of the hurricane. Of course one of the replays was how the Dems control the weather lol

Yea the ‘consensus reality’ maker brings up the issue of, say, trying to use the law to weed out corruption.. We could spend forever spinning that wheel, trying to know exactly what slime mold did what where when but the thing to busy ourselves with is the structure. The machine needs updating.

The process one has to go through in a good liberal arts or science education helps foment the skills to evaluate arguments and evidence in an objective way.

(I don’t say it’s the only way, to be clear.)

Too many people lack intellectual tools. Only a very wide diffusion of the scientific method connected to skepticism can save us, but the time is too long...
