I wish I could send this to dozens of my white evangelical family and friends. They don’t see the ways they are falling victim to propaganda. It’s heartbreaking. Now what’s happening is the doubling down, a desperate need to preserve the belief that oneself is rational, educated, wise, discerning.
Thanks for reading, Karen. Yes, there’s such a tremendous cost to this, and it’s painful personally and incredibly dangerous across our social landscape right now—there doesn’t have to be a doubling down, even though we see it all around us.
This is fantastic Jared. I think the clarity of the epistemological crisis and naming it as such is essential for our age. Bonnie Kristian helpfully uses that language in her book “Untrustworthy” and I’ve also written about it online.
Very interesting about how all digital information is disinformation. I’ll need to dwell upon that more.

Thanks for reading Ryan! I can't recommend LM Sacassas enough! Well worth the read.
