        Knowledge adoption is related to with whom we interact -> Sociology takes a leading role when tackling disinfo @SamHarrisOrg @ElizKolbert

        Therefore, the key question is: who are the weak ties we can trust? @SamHarrisOrg @ElizKolbert

        Hard to evaluate trust amongst weak ties, considering they are weak. Usefulness might be easier.

        True! However, how to measure usefulness if one feels uncomfortable when new info is provided 🙂

        usefulness can be measured using computers. Analyzing texts, emotions etc.

        Sure. If e.g. text mining would point out that new info has actually affected ones attitudes

        more than the attitude, I would look for the Usefulness of that information. 😊

        Would an additional course on logic, bias and discourse in high schools make any difference? Curious.

        Maybe you should stop trying to influence people. Present your data and let it speak for itself.
