That seems a bit ad homenim. A Carrington-scale event would likely cripple any modern society. Your disliking part of their messaging doesn't mean they have no credibility.
- glhaynes 7y agoA known liar making a truthful statement doesn't mean they have credibility.
- jhayward 7y agoIn today's media environment it is a known attack to build credibility using small or occasional truths (or at least, not easily disproven statements) to then support a larger, more widely and thinly spread disinformation campaign. Thus the warning. It is a category error to think that we are operating in a Platonic environment of ideas, evaluating and discussing them independently. We are in a disinformation war environment with combatants who are skilled and motivated, and informed by at least 100 years of practice, and should operate accordingly.
