"debunking" has a godel-like problem
any debunking-oriented epistemology more complex than simple fraud-detection is going to basically end up a religion... things like "meta-analysis" or "fact checking" are like peano arithimetic in this analogy

ie, ideas like "this is fake news," "this is fake science" are generally going to be ill-posed leaps of faith towards illegible trust, just as "scientific consensus says" or "there is no evidence for..." (ie confirmatory and disconfirmatory meta postures are equally shaky)

funny, we thought "science" was an epistemological/ontological successor to "religion" but now it seems the opposite is the case: religion sits on top of science... pre-scientific religion was just screwing around with toys, we've only recently invented *real* religion
