The fourth (and most ambitious) goal is to expose the inadequacy of a popular diagnosis of the epistemic malaise afflicting liberal democracies—the post-truth diagnosis—and to sketch an alternative to it—the post-trust diagnosis.

Its third (and even more ambitious) goal is to argue that none of these specific phenomena warrants all of the concerns that motivate [its critics].

As colleges and universities are increasingly focused on selling an experience (instead of imparting an education), people will become increasingly reluctant to pay that kind of money for a four-year-long vacation that leaves you only with a piece of paper to commemorate it.

AIDS denial is the most harmful form of science denial and yet it's often near the bottom of the list. The only reasons I can think of for this are:
a) its harms disproportionately affect Black people, and
b) it doesn't neatly fit the narrative of unjustified mistrust of science.
