Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge

That this is intimately tied to the West African coups and the Trump II National Security Strategy is perhaps not so obvious but nonetheless fundamental, as they function as a tragedy in three acts.
Act I is the extractivism in both raw materials and skills that impoverishes the Global South.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.
