I strongly disagree with Tom Cotton's op-ed that the military should be called in to "restore order." But I also strongly believe that the closest thing this country has to a national newspaper should allow a senator from the majority party of the fed govt to make that argument.

You’re wrong. This view is inconsistent with what we know of scicomm and the role of platforming misinformation. The information deficit theory is *wrong*. We are in a war for truth, and it isn’t won by uninformed, dishonest debate.

Exactly. More information *does not defeat disinfo*! Talk to you psyops and military cointel people. They’ve been studying this for decades. Alternatively, talk to the debunkers of antivax, creationism, holocaust denial etc. The problem is not an information deficit!

So sick of this “debate is good” naive crap. Debate without strict rules of evidence is partisan sport in which the more convincing liar wins. That’s it. When not constrained to *facts* debate is worthless.
