    So, Russian trolls amplified divisive content and helped spread vaccine misinformation. 😱 Look, the challenge before us is to redefine *critical thinking* to include figuring out what to believe, not just how to be skeptical. Personal and institutional. https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.2018.304567 …pic.twitter.com/P8dHi6XGOk

        Nobody has adapted to this yet. A lot of old elites/gatekeepers have not demonstrated more than nostalgia for their eroded power, and the emergent elites/gatekeepers are, well, mostly incoherent. Individuals are mostly lost and confused. It's a process. We gotta tackle this.

        Here's the upside, and why I'm still an out-and-out optimist that it's possible to tackle this. Whatever worked of 20th century institutions didn't just emerge fully-formed a la Athena from Zeus' head. It was a lengthy, messy and incomplete process; this will be a process, too.

        Russian meddling is real and concerning, but the real problem is our weakened immune-system, and Russia is but one opportunistic infection. I think the challenges have become more readily visible compared to a few years ago. Better analytic grasp. More awareness. We go from here.

        Friends I'm hiring *two* post-docs: one from computer science/AI and one from social science. We're going to take on thorny problems, do solid and solution-oriented research with global focus. Come work with me!

        We need critical thinking skills for that and cuts to education over the last couple generations for "lower taxes" means that a large proportion of people don't have those skills.

        Was just having a conversation about this yesterday wrt a conservative trend of sharing screenshots rather than links. Seen as a disingenuous behavior by the left, but justified as a tool against "memoryholing" articles.

        The crux of the matter was how to identify what's fake even when it's physically impossible to do so (like edited pictures, where mistakes can be spotted, vs spoofed jscript headlines, which are indistinguishable from real ones).
