It’s a wild world where facts can both rise majestically like a hot air balloon and tumble down like a mischievous kitten, isn’t it?

What fall? We’re in the verge of having real time AI fact checking. Political debates in the next decade are going to get much more interesting.

Why are we hearing from Nate Silver in an odd numbered year?

I’m always amazed at how well Donald was able to derail attention on the lying and misinformation coming from him and the propagandists around him. Back when Donald was first running people were alarmed to see a massive spike of misinformation coming from Donald, Fox, Breitbart, and other conservative sources. They began referring to it as fake news. This term caught on and people were talking about it a lot. Then something strange happened. Donald began calling major journalism outlets, which were providing quite reliable information, fake news. He repeated it over and over and over again. Then all of assudden when people heard fake news they thought of NYT or CNN, rather than Donald, Brietbart, Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, etc.

Fact checking for most important things is epistemologically bankrupt
