      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.

          Ohai, also, I'm hiring two post-docs (one CS/ML; one social science) to work with me in an interdisciplinary team to work on all this! If that looks interesting for you, please apply or share as appropriate please!https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1029379168281083904 …

          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!

          Can you quantify the impact of these Russian trolls? Sure, the social-media landscape would different without them, but how much different?

          The mediated and the natural must be understood as separate by design..but also able to be merged by our design.

          "mostly incoherent" nails it. Few are using the 'cleaver of logic' to cut to root cause(s); instead they 'retrofit' old ideologies to address symptoms that overwhelm / defy existing approaches. I agree it's a process & that we MUST tackle it; it's time to get serious.
