In The Detail

In a world so astonishingly various, so complex, so incorrigibly, contradictorily plural, how can we ever be sure of the simple truth of anything? It's useful to acknowledge that often, possibly always, we cannot.

But what we can do is attempt doing justice to all that detail, indeed, welcome engaging with it. Which is a pretty good way to evaluate what is likely to be misinformation. By definition fake news is lazy and recognising lazy thinking is not difficult at all.
