- exceptione 8mo agoThere is the difficult and energy consuming way of thinking with the ratio, and there is a cheap way of thinking, based on ingrained beliefs, vibes, tribes etc. As humans we are quite fallible, but as long as mass media and "social" media don't hamper the process of eventual re calibration towards reality, we can come back from our mistakes. That imho also answers why autocrats immediately start a war on academia, they instinctively know where the danger lurks for them.
