I feel like this is the right channel to have this discussion. @mazmhussain do you think we'll be able to find a solution to the "post-truth" situation we're in? I thought about it when I saw your cast about the meme with the UFOs, saying that ppl didn't even care when NSA confirmed UFOs are real, because they're bombarded with information. I feel like the problem is not so much the "volume" than the "quality". We went from a state where "I saw it on TV= it's true" to "I don't trust anything I see/hear by default". Related to that, we seem to have internalized the fact that objectivity/neutrality doesn't exist, there's only partisan opinions. Even if there's some truth to it, I feel like it's a slippery slope, because it tends to put in the same bag journalists who, while having opinions, aim at neutrality, and journalist who don't care at all and go for full bias. It's a small nuance, but a very important one imo. Happy to hear ppl's thoughts on this, and be pointed to thinkers who went over this matter.

Community notes are a pretty good tool but maybe not powerful enough to overcome the phenomenon totally. I guess there will always be some of it around. Its a back and forth counter measure situation.

solving post-truth is important and to do it we need new tools for social coordination and spreading information. even wikipedia is relatively ancient and does the same bad job of letting everyone have input on things that aren't really up for debate. farcaster shows that web3 social itself doesn't improve information quality any more than twitter did; if anything, the opposite onchain reputation needs its rennaisance era, so we can start to build credibly neutral information sources.

UFOs aren’t real, the information presented was easily debunked, what’s more concerning is why the US government all of a sudden wanted people to think they think UFOs are real. We have this massive thing that just runs psyops on its own population all the time and we all just kind of accept it does this.
