SANCIAN Scientific’s Post

The methodological truth right here.

“We now occupy the state where information is virtually unlimited but often of very low reliability. When one doesn’t know, has never met, and, furthermore, shares no common interest with the individual with whom information is being shared, there is little incentive to assure the reliability of that information. Indeed, if there is personal gain to be had by providing misinformation to one’s unknown targets, there is, in fact, an incentive to misinform…This means that the most effective approach to all problems requiring rational analysis is to cultivate scientific habits of mind.” - David J. Helfand
