@robreed@mastodon.social I think that one of the biggest problems society faces these days is the lack of quality information to the general public, where we have so many issues that we can't resolve because we literally don't know what's true or not.
We need high quality sources of information so we can begin to unravel some of that problem.
At this point I think it's much more important that we have high quality information. Maybe we can talk about independence or anything else once we address that basic epistemological crisis.
If people can't agree on what is true then everything else seems pretty futile.
