Summary:
The internet has become a tool to tribalize us, a place where opinions become identities in a fight to the death of who's right and who's wrong. As information continues to flow in, many of us lack the training to effectively sort opinion from fact. This leads to widespread disinformation. We need science literacy. With an understanding of how things work, or how to question how things work, we empower ourselves to discover the truth.
