We Can Win the War on Misinformation — Here’s How
A bold new strategy to reclaim the truth and reshape the information landscape.
You're viewing a single thread.
Look at the atheist vs creationist debates on YouTube. When it is a neutral playing field; (like it was in YouTube’s early days) truth wins. But in a shifted playing field where by appealing to people’s already existing (or easily radicalized) beliefs greater engagement occurs. (Like YouTube is doing now) The truth doesn’t stand a chance.
So our only chance is if we can make a level playing field and encourage everyone (including those who we are fighting against) and then let the truth win by virtue of being true.
And we have the problem that none of us is as cruel as all of us are.
