A subset of the latter. There are those who begin with the premise that the world is going to hell and then seek out (and amplify) any evidence they find that resonates with their bias. Doomers, if you will. It's not even that difficult to identify these folks, but as soon as one does the retort is invariably some form of "you have your head in the sand".
- geysersam 3y agoWhat do you mean by "begin with the premise that the world is going to hell"? Can you name a person who does that? In the context of this particular blog post I think the authors argue quite coherently in favor of their perspective, whether you think it right or not, it's hardly "beginning from the premise".
