An article by Paul Krugman today on substack.
From one end of the political spectrum this is usual but I decided to ponder the reverse. Most articles state Trump and the right have got it wrong and the left have it right. No space of compromise.
What if the truth lies somewhere in the middle, as it normally does. In math this is the mean, the median and the mode. Take the most extreme views from the right, and then the left and find what the middle ground is.
Also he talks about the assault on knowledge which brings me to what the truth is. One thing is for sure. new knowledge tends to destroy old power structures, and these structures would do everything to prevent dissemination of the new knowledge.
Most people do not care about the truth they only care about their truth. What helps them retain power and dominance.
