The
problem is the explosion of communication means: the internet, social
media, 24 hours a day. They have opened access to information to more
people than we can say, and that is a good thing. They have enriched
and enlarged and broadened the discourse. Democracy and society have
always gained from learned debate, whether it is political, or
scientific. But we have to remain vigilant. We cannot let ourselves
fall into complacency. We must be vocal, all the time, everywhere,
every single one of us, so that we can deconstruct misinformation,
and don’t end up in an echo chamber where we’re just listening to
what we want to hear.
