Absolutely brilliant, and what I’ve been trying to say for years: “Working out the social politics of who you can trust and why is what a very large part of our brain has evolved to do. For some reason we turn off this natural scepticism when we see things in any medium which require a lot of work or resources—like newspapers, television or granite. What should concern us is not that we can’t take what we read on the internet on trust, but that we ever got into the dangerous habit of believing what we read in the newspapers or saw on the TV.”
