      In addition to enabling uncouth behavior, Twitter also enables a worldwide append-only record of analysis, claims, and counterclaims, including those of journalists, medical professionals, experts in every field, and others.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1242674190253051904 …

      Patrick McKenzie added,

      Twitter is a remarkable website where anyone can read frontline testimony from journalists, medical professionals, and experts in every field of human endeavor who are choosing to share their knowledge for free, of their own free will, in real time, and call them an idiot.

      Every possible claim on every possible issue will probably happen on the Internet. Some of those claims will be right. Some will be wrong. We have the prior expectation that journalists, government, and experts will utterly crush others as a population on their track records.

      But for the first time, we now have observable track records. And that... we are still working through the societal implications of that.

      It’s always been possible for a stopped clock the be right twice a day. And it’s always been possible for someone controlling the channel to say, in response to being outperformed on a single instant, that it was outperformed by a stopped clock. But which clock keeps winning?

      So why are people able to make careers out of systematically lying about things? Why the resurgence in flat earthers?

      You can make a career as an entertainer saying a wide variety of things, but some beliefs have fairly concrete consequences if you act on them. Flat earthers do not have long careers in e.g. satellite telecommunications engineering or policy circles.

          Truth markets getting more efficient doesn't necessarily have an impact on e.g. whether people want to consume entertainment or bananas, but there exist a whole host of decisions which are downstream of "Are truth markets operating correctly?" (There are many truth markets.)

          I've often wondered whether social media would evolve to come up with some form of overall reputation signalling based on previous claims. Blue ticks are too broad and historical tweet shaming is an intellectual comfort blanket. Really needs something more nuanced.
