“What’s
true? What’s false? In case you haven’t noticed, the world has
pretty much given up on the old Enlightenment idea of piecing together the
truth based on observed data. Reality is
too complicated and scary for that.
Instead, it’s way easier to ignore all data that doesn’t fit your
preconceptions and believe all data that does.
I believe what I believe, and you believe what you believe, and we’ll
agree to disagree. It’s liberal
tolerance meets dark ages denialism.
It’s very hip right now.”
