Wait, how can we trust this guy telling us what should be trustworthy?

I have been experimenting with a lot of these ideas recently, and I have been trying to figure out a way to disrupt the flow of misinformation in a fundamental way.

That being said, this was a lot to say "fake news is real"

All this being said, there are some things that are not epistemic at all, for example morality, personal preferences, or what political opinions we have. For these things, we can't say for sure that anything is correct because there can be no right or wrong. You can never make sense of these things, and if you try you will fail.

Thanks for posting this. I've listened and I'm listening again. Rings true on so many points. Especially the whole sound byte, 8th grade, ignorant thing. That got my attention first. Gee...makes me think the fact we have an 8th grade level president is at least partly due the US's current level of 8th grade mentality and a direct reflection or result of the way he was marketed to the masses......hmmmm....
There's lots more, to be sure. My little brain is soaking it all up.

the potus having 8th grade mentality is generous. Maybe he is stuck in puberty phase, but he truly has patience, ego, and temper of a toddler. Your comment did make me smile.

If this is about Normality hinging on the people being fed lies, distractions, obfuscations, etc. then you're right.
