Hi TOK listserv,

An article recently published in National Affairs may be of interest to
this group:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.nationalaffairs.com_publications_detail_the-2D&d=DwIBaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=UWxc8PTZMS37mXV87gbIsPPx7kcnN4-4ESXN_avRbHg&s=llr62l6K419fQpF8QllBmVhJ3Wjqeu9dm96JIxjoQ5s&e=
constitution-of-knowledge

Of special note, the author (Jonathan Rauch) observes,

   - "*America has faced many challenges to its political culture, but this
   is the first time we have seen a national-level epistemic attack: a
   systematic attack, emanating from the very highest reaches of power, on our
   collective ability to distinguish truth from falsehood." *(emphasis
   added)

~ Steve Q.
