vakibs added,
That is what fake news is: propaganda that does not conform to the editorial line?!
There are lies of commission and lies of omission. The latter are also lies & inevitable with any editorial line. This makes them invisible.
Do you know of any open knowledge organization project that does better than Wikipedia wrt aiming for truth, btw?
No. But I think the wiki model is fundamentally flawed. We need to rethink this. We need to support multiple living hypotheses.
epistemic pluralism is often necessary, but it is not intrinsically virtuous
As Churchill would say, it is the best of all evils. I hate Churchill but I agree with him on this :)
I mean the least evil option is democracy with multiple living hypotheses and settling disputes gradually, probably taking forever.
Democracy is a tool for legitimizing decisions, not for making good ones
I understand this viewpoint. But I don't subscribe to it. I am not yet cynical enough :)
I trust the humans to arrive at the optimal decision if and when they cool down their tempers and consciously try to reduce bias.
