Disinformation is intentionally created. Does that mean the science deniers are, in some sense, victims? How do we shut off the flow of disinformation? That's what i'm really worried about these days. If you have good ideas, your work was so important to me in the book that i just wrote. So if you've got any work on this information, you got it o.

“Climate change is a hoax — and so is coronavirus.” “Vaccines are bad for you.” These days, many of our fellow citizens reject scientific expertise and prefer ideology to facts. They are not merely uninformed — they are misinformed. They cite cherry-picked evidence, rely on fake experts, and believe conspiracy theories. How can we convince such people otherwise?
