To solve misinformation, short cuts and quick-fixes won't work. We need to build a new context for information. We need a new way to decide what is trustworthy.
The technology it takes to seize people's attention and make them pay attention to facts has always been a double edged sword. In the future, new technology will make it even harder to sift fact from fiction, real from fake.

Global warming proven conclusively false for the 174th time. Looking forward to seeing it get proven conclusively true again for the 628th time next week.
Fatal tropical storms in poor countries like Madagascar are rarely covered in the mainstream news – let alone the fact that global warming is proven to cause more intense storms, that will particularly affect areas and people with fewer resources. buff.ly/2EqhrCH
