      But to an objectivist, it's outrageous to suggest *their* Immutable Truth might NOT be true; any "fact" to this effect is therefore suspect.

      If any so-called "fact" upsets a True Believer's worldview, the only thing it proves to them is that "facts" are fundamentally negotiable.

      Which is why we now have people like Conway and Spicer talking about "alternative facts", as though such a concept actually makes sense.

      As a teenager learning about subjectivity/objectivity, what terrified me was the realisation of how precarious our modern knowledgebase is.

      The modern world is so vastly huge & complex that no one person can ever understand *everything* underpinning it, so we rely a LOT on trust.

      Trust in the scientific method, journalistic integrity, educational institutions, politicians; trust in the accurate spread of information.

      We've always tried to hold our various institutions accountable, have always pushed back against or pushed for particular findings. But now-

      Now, we have the internet, where anyone can potentially learn anything, where very little is vetted, and where trust is easy to gain.

      As part of the same high school history class, we were taught how to assess the verity of websites as sources: basic digital fact-checking.

      We were taught this when the internet was still comparatively new; before Wikipedia & social media, before Google had become what it is now.

      It wasn't part of the curriculum; it was something my school elected to teach us on its own recognisance. Something we badly need more of.

          Because now, online, when True Believer objectivists encounter fake news and propaganda to suit them? Now they think they have "facts", too.

          What's so terrifying about the Kumquat's "fake news" accusations and "alternative facts" is that it undermines the very *concept* of trust.
