Here’s how to get to truth (or close to it) in the Information Age.
- learn how to think broadly
- reason from first principles
- take in information from multiple competing sources
- go direct to source to find information if possible
- employ occham’s/hanlon’s razor
- put aside personal bias
- consider what is likely true and not what you would like to be true
- don’t be afraid to switch your stance
- don’t be afraid of negative social consequences
- be prepared to be incorrect
