We're sort of living through an epistemological crisis. Not only from the postmodern "there is no truth" perspective, but from the venal "truth by itself does not get clicks" perspective in media, as well as the related "incentive structures are not aligned with the rigorous, methodical, expensive accretion of truth" perspective in research. Maybe that's a slight overstatement, but is trending truer rather than falser as the days go by. We anxiously await a corrective we hope will come soon.
