        why are so many young people flocking to brands on social media for love, guidance, and attention? I'll tell you why. they're isolated from real communities, working service jobs they hate while barely making ends meat, and are living w/ unchecked personal/mental health problems

        one major roadblock in getting credible information to the masses is the divide between experts and communicators. most experts aren't communicators and most communicators aren't experts. this often results in research being spun with a narrative by the time it reaches the public

        all brands exist on a spectrum, yet they all still have a bottom line. some have a more positive impact, others not so much, but no brand itself can be "woke" due to an inherent drive for growth and survival. this includes every industry from media to restaurants and beyond

        how do you determine if a source is “credible?” well, it's an incredibly complex question. you need to understand the outlet and author's track record, their editorial process, associations, funding, audiences (market), critiques, and the influence of their work, for starters

        in science there are “rules” and “exceptions.” rules provide consensus and patterns, while exceptions provide outliers that challenge (prove) the rules. in hard sciences like physics, a virtual 100% consensus is possible, but in soft sciences like economics, it's never that clean
