The Psychology of Misinformation was the subject of the meeting and I thought where the hell can we start unraveling this huge ugly monster of a topic, what edges can we grab and begin to gently tug, like pulling a weed straight up, not jerking or snapping root & threads which break so easily, leaving enough to rise and break soil again. With a worldwide pandemic, racial reckoning summer, and open rebellion by a President and his maggots of misinformation feasting on wounds in the body politic - we might take hours to agree on a starting point, even then someone is bound to leave angry, buy a bottle, and visit their spouse in the cemetery. |
