I don't know how but we have to teach people to be better at detecting bullshit. Instead we have this ersatz skepticism where people are suspicious about the wrong things and find their way to conclusions that are worse than if they just blindly accepted conventional wisdom

Aside from everything else that’s stupid about this, “blessed is the nation in which God is the Lord” is a falsifiable hypothesis that has been repeatedly falsified throughout history.

you can tell that this white house really thinks things through carefully because less than 2 weeks ago Trump announced that he was launching an entire new branch of the military called AI Force, a term that he now says is illegal.

I think this is correct, and I've been thinking a lot about what replaces all this stuff. If it is going away, you'd think the institutional players would have some idea of what might take its place. But they don't seem to have a vision for that, or any interest in it. It's private equity mindset.
Fun part about David Ellison destroying CBS News, 60 Minutes and his late-night show is that he'll never be able to get any of it back. You could argue that latter was heading toward obsolescence anyway, but the Weiss-ification of the news has led to a permanent erosion of trust.
