We, science-oriented people, should be doing something about it. We have the power and resources. Politicians are only part of the problem. The ignorant voters is the major issue here.
There was the weapon of mass destruction propaganda which precedes the Iraq war. Now powerful but ignorant people failed to stop the coronavirus even though there were stark examples from china. And we have even a greater challenge ahead, which we can’t afford to fail again. There are 220,000 people working for the video industry which has an annual income of 25 billion dollars. How many people are employed to educate people about the big issue ahead like protection of habitat?
Back in the early 2010s, I did a project which is trying to interest people In keeping track of politician statements and assign scores to their credibility. Unfortunately, I can’t find anyone to invest in such a project. I just knew back then if we don’t change the status quo, the media would lose credibility. Unfortunately, I was proven right. The “ fake news “ becomes the big news back at the 2016 election. I am still paying the big daddy to keep the website registered so that I can brag a little.
