Lot of politics is nebulous these days. Information, information from the internet, the television, the radio. Disinformation, made up information, strong information, opinion, anecdote, we have more information flying at our faces than any other time in human history, it's overwhelming. As the great Frank Zappa said, "Information is not knowledge". How do you decide on your information sources?

People will call any news fake for one reason or another. If you go outside msm to internet articles those can just as easily be called fake. In a way we're all hedging our bets on truth. Why do you believe your sources for truth? Are they trying to sell you something? Are you betting on 2002 fedor or 2020 Fedor? Does your truth have strong odds? does it have history? Is it likely to retire soon or fight forever?

I keep falling back on science. In my opinion science is the gsp in his prime of truth. It gets better with age, it rarely loses a round, and when it does it has very strong methods to fill in those gaps which are not present in a lot of other information sources. I believe that the scientific method, publishing, and peer review process are our strongest indicators for truth in this world. I have spent years betting my life on science and winning. When the chips are down most will, how many people won't go to the hospital if they are dying because they do not trust doctor's truth?

As extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, I will generally be suspicious of politics or beliefs which run contrary to science, and generally believe career experts with data and history of accuracy. Currently data supports the experts on vaccines and election security to be true by a wide margin.


Statements like that 48 judges and thousands of scientists are bribed, and bribed to such a degree that the bribe is beyond the reward to refuse the bribe, and that the bribe will not be discovered by the IRS are like betting your life on Brittainy Spears to take out Stipe and prime Fedor both at once in the cage. Anything can happen but I wouldn't take the bet.
