New review of On Truth in Politics @foreignaffairs.com www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/trut...
When they talk about "land swaps" to end the Ukraine war, what is being swapped? Is Putin actually giving any Russian territory in exchange for the Ukrainian territory he has seized by force? Wouldn't a more accurate phrase be territorial concessions?
That is definitely not normal!

New review of On Truth in Politics
Democracy and the pursuit of truth are twin values and must be defended together. www.skeptic.com/michael-sher...
“Outrageous lies…just have the dazing effect…the idea is to pummel ppl with so much nonsense that they don’t see what is happening right in front of them…to undermine common rules of truth & evidence—and the legal & academic institutions that employ those rules.” @michael-p-lynch.bsky.social
“To change your convictions means changing the kind of person you want to be. It means changing your self-identity. And that is not just hard, it is scary,” argues @michael-p-lynch.bsky.social Tap to read more. | iai.tv/articles/why...

Philosopher John Dewey warned about the dangers of authoritarian falsehoods, which create a "state of daze" that allows leaders to manipulate the public. Dewey's concerns are echoed today, as blatant lies from political leaders undermine truth and evidence-based institutions. This contempt for truth erodes democratic principles, replacing them with conformity to power, and threatens the integrity of scientific, legal, and academic institutions essential for critical thinking and informed decision-making.

This, from @michael-p-lynch.bsky.social, is the #truth about what is going on now in the United States of America. We *must not* ignore the distortions and lies of the current administration, or else we will lose #knowledge, #health, and #humanity.
