A Student's Guide to Right, Left and Truth by Alan E. Singer, 2020
This book is an augmented adaptation of the author's 2018 book Understanding Left and Right (Nova). It further reinforces the message that sustained truth-seeking leads people toward the political center. Each chapter offers divide-bridging discussions of issues such as regulation, taxation, corporate-strategy and personal identity, along with the very ideas of knowledge, truth and goodness.
“#SocialMedia has turned so many into public relations professionals who pursue likeability instead of #truth. That’s why people speak along pre-vetted party lines and silence their edgy ideas. First to others, later to themselves. When anything you say online can be instantly accessed with a Google search, the costs of independent thinking aren’t worth the benefits to most people.”
Truth: A Brief History of Total Bullsh*t by Tom Phillips, 2019
As the editor of the UK's leading independent fact-checker, Tom Phillips deals with complete bollocks every day. Here, he tells the hilarious story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other - and ourselves - and asks an important question: how can humanity move towards a truthier future?
I'd ask: How are people like Laura Ingraham allowed anywhere near anything with "news" in its name? For that matter, how is it that #Fox has managed to have free rein to be the voice of #disinformation & assaulting #truth ?
Once upon a time broadcasters were required to serve the public by offering actual, you know, #facts.
Now there's a bubble for anyone who wants to stay comfortably immersed in #TrumpVirus and #GQP#cult messaging.
There is nothing more "this can't be how this is intended to work" than manually typing an authorization code from one pop-up window to another on the same device.
Hey! Copy/paste reduces the finger motions…. Oh, it’s the same f’ing physical device? Yup….
The one that sends me off the deep end is Xfinity’s mobile app which does nothing but interface with the web site…. Geezus. And it’s easy to get stuck in a 2-factor authentication loop as it uses the app as the 2nd factor…. What?
