re: #326 Killgore Trout
I was discussing the merits of fact checking on another forum recently. It is a laborious process and it’s hard to do a lot of this stuff yourself, the average person isn’t going to be able to pile through a 600 page technical NASA document. A lot of times you can detect the BS when reporters use phrases like “some people are saying” or “could this thing be happening”. It’s usually a sign of BS. Recently I find myself just believing less of what I read or whatever viral story is making the rounds. It’s almost impossible to detect all the bullshit so I’ve become more agnostic about everything.
Here, have another one…
