"Collective choice making has to be based on collective sense making.
The commons is a shared resource and a shared responsibility. The information commons is the noosphere of ideas that informs our collective ability to make collective choices. Just like we are polluting our physical environment ("the commons"), we are also polluting our information environment ("the noosphere").
If there are whole chunks of the population that you only have pejorative strawman versions of, where you can't explain how they think without making them dumb or bad, you should question your own modeling.
Take in the news that they take in for a week so you can understand their perspective and get a more clear picture of reality that combines multiple perspectives.
Each news source contains some signal (truth) and some noise (bias). We need to collect all the signals that represent reality so we can synthesize it.
If you feel certainty within an enemy hypothesis narrative structure of reality, you have been captured by someone's information warfare.
There isn't one narrative, there are many narratives that fall into clusters. Try to get a grasp of the narrative landscape and look for the best arguments within each narrative cluster. Look for the thinkers that seem most earnest and well researched behind each narrative cluster, rather than the most trendy voices.
Embrace uncertainty rather than give in to the biases that give you confidence that your team is "right"."
