What does that mean, in practice

Well that was exciting

If you’re saying that it used to be easier for people to settle on a narrative, whether that narrative accurately or inaccurately reflects the truth, that’s what I’m also saying.

I think it’s both. It really did used to be easier for people in our society to agree on narrative and also, as you say, there was always a need to triangulate because indeed all information is partial

Agreed. But I think that no specific source is always reliable so it’s a lot more work than I feel like it used to be to decide on what is true. I think the best we can do nowadays is triangulate based on multiple sources after having made sure that they’re not all simply echoing one source

Well, I believe Charlie Kirk was a real person and that he was killed and I believe that killing was utterly wrong. Beyond that, it’s very hard to know what information can be trusted about the specifics of this event. With these high profile killings, everyone has an agenda and they’re either actively pushing it— perhaps with deliberate misinformation or at the very least they may be letting their bias influence their narrative so that they appear more confident than they really are when asserting what they claim to know

Very early. And who knows what to believe about anything these days.

I think we’ve all seen too many action movies that make us think it takes a ninja to pull the trigger and escape but honestly it doesn’t.

Does it work in New York State yet?
