> others' bad ideas represent a large threat to my well-being I’m sorry you feel threatened by other people’s ideas. > There are indeed serious and important issues in the world: and solving one of them the wrong way would lead to really bad outcomes That sounds right to me about any important decision, at the individual or the global level. > one of least self-aware groups of people on the planet (journalists) That doesn’t sound like a fair or even knowable criticism to me, just bashing an entire profession. At a fundamental level, the collection and distribution of information is important for decision making, so there’s probably an advantage for groups that can share information effectively. I personally would love access to quality, well sourced information. But everyone is biased. If you started writing articles, I don’t think it would be as easy to remove your personal bias as you might think. It’s easier than ever to be an independent journalist with a substack account, or a self-hosted WordPress blog, so you’re of course free to try and improve upon what we currently have.
