as a huge fan of decentralization, one thing we are going to have to figure out as a society is discerning facts vs ideas
I have a lot of progressive family members and they continually send me information that are clearly ideas (bad ones) but talk as if they are fact.
For instance, I got one today from someone sending me this video from this channel 'second thought' which is a marxist youtube channel. The video is about MMT and why austerity doesn't matter.
The video is a joke -- I mean really, the stupidity will make your headspin -- but they have over a million followers and people pass around this shit like it is fact.
On the one hand I feel like it is a waste of my time to actually watch this and go one by one on why its all insane. But on the other hand, this stuff spreads like wild fire and it needs to be argued against.
As a community we need to up our content game. id love to see a video of this quality with
@Saifedean Ammous dropping actual facts
