What we really all need is the right degree of epistemological humility. I think I’m better than average at discerning misinformation yes, but know that I have been wrong in the past so never weight my conclusions 100%. Its mostly people who live only in the political/social and never have to bang their heads against the hard truth of physics/nature who have complete certainty in the corectness of their positions.
