You have chosen an excellent topic here. We live in a civilisation, which one of the dominating characteristic is that individuals have become deluged with "news." As a result, the search for criteria aiming at discriminating between true and false, believable and misleading, accurate and inaccurate, factual and baseless, rational and irrational, etc., has become increasingly needed for the individuals, this in order not to behave or act injustly as a result of having been mislead. If I had to add one piece of advice to those you've just described, I would say that the science that is interested first and foremost by truth is philosophy. Because the mind opened to philosophy,not to ideologies, is the most rarely mislead either by propaganda, fake news, or any kind of falsehood. Have a great day 😀.
Clear and cogent as always from Victor Gijsbers. Thank you. This topic reminds us of the social dimension to knowledge.
