Allen Roberts’s Reviews > The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth > Status Update

“… [F]alse and harmful words are not the problem; false and harmful ideas are the problem, and suppressing them does not defeat them: demonstrating that they are false and replacing them with better ideas defeats them.” pp. 207-8

Such a fascinating and philosophical topic—can digital media influence (or force) users to be more truthful? Who gets to decide what content is true? 🤔

“…[I]n order to learn you must desire to learn, and in so desiring not be satisfied with what you already incline to think…” p. 108

I’m telling y’all, the messages of this book are so überimportant.
