Most people in the US are very unhappy with the political status quo, but weirdly, they largely don't blame the incentive architecture of their society but bad outgroup behavior. (Guys, you'd do the same if you were them.)

With our political rhetoric full of lies, we have lost the ground where to stand, not because the lies (politics always lie) but because we can't see the difference anymore when is a lie and when is true.

Do you think there was a time when it was fundamentally different? Working out what's true seems to be way easier today than in any other time in history to me, because you have access to way more data, models and discourse than ever before.

It’s always a competition. Those who would mislead have access to more tools as well.

Imho it is not as insidious as one might think; the people that distribute misleading information are mostly confused themselves. For instance, many journalists I met sincerely believed that collusion between Trump and Russia had been proven, and their bubbles reinforced that.

Yes. Instead of it being a person it’s more like false memes that perpetuate themselves through their misleading content.

what if unreliable information does not matter very much and the main problem is that local incentives all drag systemic behavior consistently along the wrong gradient?

People are unable to design better incentive systems because we don’t know very well how to do that or what the large-scale effects of various policies will be.

The particular people that could get into the present system to positions where they can change incentives have the wrong incentives.

Everyone’s incentives are controlled by their ideas about how the system works.

And the quality of their ideas depends on their incentives for improving their ideas about how their incentives for improving their ideas about how the system works should be improved...
