Description

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.
