Healthy skepticism and debate
Perhaps the most alarming part of 2020 that continues through today has been the loss of debate, discussion and critical thinking in what appears to be a very loud minority that far outweighs the so called silent majority. Be it climate, COVID, inflation, misinformation on and about laptops, Ukraine and countless other topics, journalists in particular have ceased asking hard questions or seeking to enlighten, empower and educate society. They produce propaganda, stifle debate and have made it such that platforms such as substack now command a far greater mindshare of critical thinkers than ever before. Let’s hope it continues.
This is a wonderful piece by Doomberg that does the rest. Enjoy your weekend, off to beat the kid. We are both playing really well at the moment so it will be a battle.
