I think about this a lot. I'm such a news junkie and think I get my news from independent sources, but how do we know who is really independent? And how do we know we aren't being brainwashed from the conservative perspective? They have red and blue mockingbirds.
How do we know we aren't being brainwashed from the conservative perspective?
A: You don’t.
First principles critical thinking around apriori thinking should always shape worldview.
Aposteriori thinking around presented facts shapes response out of necessity only.
Limit mediated response to a lesser role than observed reality.
It’s why I always try to remind people, including myself, that I could be a bad actor (Don’t think anyone is deluded about themselves? Matthew 7:23). I do my best to get things right, and be honest, and pointed toward righteousness, but that doesn’t mean you can know that’s true, and it doesn’t mean I was right about any of it.
Imo everyone should be in that mindset and constantly testing everything (2 Corinthians 13:5, 1 Thessalonians 5:21). I’m just some non-authoritative pile of text on the internet, maybe good, maybe not, the Authority must always remain God.
