Lots of cool things to read, thanks.

Regarding the fake news paragraph, it seems to me that the "fake news" thing is part of a much broader experience of being lied to than we often realize. We always want to put the spotlight on what politicians and corporations are doing, but consider the themes and assumptions that subtly pass by our critical filter when we watch the movies or television. How much of this is truth and how much is false, and what standard(s) do you use to tell the one from the other?
