Yeah, there definitely seems to be a lack of good-faith in almost all discourse these days. I don't know if that can be fixed without resorting to totalitarian control of information because there will always be incentive for malicious actors to argue in bad-faith, and I think recent events have shown that such propaganda can quite easily overwhelm good-faith efforts. Of course, totalitarian control of information has many of its own downsides so I'd rather not have that either.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoA totalitarian control of information is not going to lead to good faith discussions. First, the totalitarians won't control the information in good faith. Second, even if you found good faith people to control the information, the malicious actors who argue in bad faith won't go away just because you control the information that they can argue about.
