THere are two mistakes that hamper one’s ability to discern truth from fiction/propaganda. They are both equally blinding.

1. Being too gullible

2. Being too cynical

I see a lot of “too cynical” on FR. Often is is accompanied by too much faith in one’s own biases.... and also accompanied by gullibity - only believing the “bad news” that agrees with the existing mindset of “all is doomed”.

I say fie on that mentality. It’s self defeating in the extreme; waving the white flag, etc.
