The Marketplace of Ideas

QAnon: The idea of the marketplace of ideas is somehow you just put all this information out there and everyone criticizes and talks about it. What we started seeing in 2016 was the systematic weaponizing, corrupting and distorting of the marketplaceof ideas by actors that included Russian propagandists,. Trump and his MAGA movement. QAnon: I realized what these forces were attacking was the specific institutions and arrangements and norms and rules that we rely on to structure the marketplace ofIdeas. That's the constitution of knowledge. It doesn't happen to be written down, but it is rules and institutions that if you went to graduate school or undergraduate school, you were trained in.
