It’s been clear in the days since the election, if it wasn’t already, that misinformation is rampant online. We have large groups of people in this country who cannot agree on simple facts of reality. This “epistemological crisis,” as it’s called, undermines our other collective problems, such as climate change, the coronavirus pandemic, and political ineffectiveness. There are some easy ways we can combat this. Read 2 articles about the same news event, one from your political standpoint and one from the opposite. What’s in common? That’s probably the truth. You can also insist on gathering information from the most neutral sources possible, such as Rising or All Sides. There are solutions to this problem out there; we just have to be willing to leave our comfortable bubbles. Information should not be divisive, it should be the criteria for determining conclusions. Sometimes we’re wrong, and that’s okay. We can be collectively right, if we recognize we have the same goals and dreams: health, wealth, and happiness.
