Quote of the Week:
“The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. Perceiving the truth has always been a challenge to mankind, but in the information age (or as I think of it, the disinformation age) it takes on a special urgency and importance. – Michael Crichton [H/t Tim Ball]
The above quote was sent to me by the Science and Environment Policy Project (SEPP) and it immediately struck me that it was absolutely right. We are constantly bombarded with information, much of it is from a certain perspective. Not only that, but much other information is kept back from us.
