   What’s up with all these false dichotomies in the 21st century?

   And why do arguably intelligent people take them seriously?

     @thomasfuchs every so often I think about the mix of:

     reputation is fragile and permanent, but easy to shed if you don't care about it

     things are stated confidently as just a function of language now, so it's hard to know who actually knows anything in a sea of confidently-stated opinions (and no reputation/accountability mechanisms to make bad advice stick to a person giving it)

     plus the abdication of journalism
