    Imagine if Trump rather than Biden had just won a major victory toward permanently silencing a journalist who revealed major corruption by the Trump campaign and RNC (rather than Hillary/DNC). Every CNN, NBC, NYT, WP employee would be in red alert mode. Instead: barely a wisp.

    I don't agree with everything here, but I do agree with the take-home -- that the "unvaccinated" are not a homogeneous group that confirms liberal biases. Not just in the US but elsewhere too.

    This could also be one of the reasons why so many academics (& other intellectuals) jumped onto the post-truth bandwagon (something I delve into here: )

    Useful survey with findings consistent with . surveys in the US & by others in Europe. Crucial that claims re public trust in/engagement with science are based on empirical data rather than gut feelings.

    Bush did much more harm, real not rhetorical, than Trump. Period. But the one sin he did not commit, and which Trump did (whether by accident or by design), is to threaten American exceptionalism. That virtue was enough to win Bush establishment legitimacy & eventual absolution.

    Bush created a machine for unrestrained violence and institutional bigotry that made us the shame of the world — imagine Stop-and-Frisk with drones — yet to the Beltway consensus, he at least represented an establishment legitimacy absent with Trump.

    In December, I wrote about the narrative of post-truth that emerged in 2016 & was pushed by liberal intellectuals, largely uncritically: The article tackles a different issue & from a different angle but nevertheless complements this one.

    If you’ve wondered about the politics of Big Disinfo, how they work, who they reassure and who they profit, I’ve written a long essay for you!

    See also my article on the post-truth narrative for a different but complementary perspective. I conclude by emphasizing that " nuanced, context-specific analysis of contemporary issues should never be sacrificed for the security of simplicity."

    This Harper's article by Joe is really good reading. It's long and complex so hard to reduce to a Twitter recommendation but, among other things, it examines the new fraudulent industry of those claiming to fight "disinformation" online:

    If this past week illustrates anything, it's that the vast majority of the press in the United States are far more committed to holding power accountable when officials try to end wars than they are when they launch wars

    Important reminder of the indirect inpact of -19 on children. Lancet modelling study estimates the numbers of children affected by COVID-19-associated orphanhood and deaths of caregivers.

    Just to remind liberal elites that it has always been thus. It was so before & during Trump & will be so after him too.

    It’s impressive how many countries the US is capable of strangling simultaneously, causing food and medicine shortages and stifling access to fuel. And then Western media blames the misery and death this causes it on bad governance and people believe it.

    Am alerting participants to this critical take on the post-truth narrative: I draw primarily on the work by . & Jannick Schou on the relationship between truth and democracy, but also many others such as Kathryn Braun.

    Couldn't agree more -- the diversity of perspectives lent a freshness to the discussions that I have missed here in Sweden!

    At the outset, . hoped that the panel would take us beyond the somewhat jaded discussion about of late. Certainly a success from that point of view -- thanks to all involved!

    Final advice to from the panel: - T. Brown: Make the right questions about science. - : Talk about your honesty, good intentions, competence. - : Explain the process of science. - R. Bromme: Foster epistemic trust!

    Agree entirely, which is why the emphasis on some nebulous "science" (e.g., in March for Science) without defining what we mean by it is not very productive in this discussion.

    At Maria Baghramian tells that under a generalized trust in science, some topics may become critical. For the case of distrust on scientific advice for Covid-19 pandemic measures, the causes of distrust can be found in…

    There is good reason to mistrust science in some cases, for example with respect to historical injustices (e.g., minorities re early vaccine efforts or political campaigns in the garb of science). Excellent point by Prof. Maria Baghramian.
