had a meditation this morning
was thinking, climate change skepticism is actually a really good opportunity for science, and global culture at large, to make a marked distinction between the truth and technical-sounding jargon
right now they are viewed as one in the same by most laypeople
thats why an argument for global warming and an argument for why the earth is flat are equally compelling to laypeople
its just a bunch of exclusive technical jargon, and that is one of the issues in truth-revealing practices such as science...it is one of the most rigorous and reliable, yet also one of the most exclusive...accessibility was never a focus, and that's led to a national crisis
one solution is education, yeah
but i wonder if there is something else, where we can finally change the language to not be as exclusive and make truths more self-evident
perhaps blockchain?
