Yes, I think so, Nancy. But do you think we also need to include a definition that includes disinformation and being confused between fact and disinformation?
Perhaps, though, those who believe random blogs or people without credentials and completely discount life-long scientists or professionals with extensive experience and higher levels of education could be classified in the above groupings.
Agree about the last two.
I think they might fit into the last two.
I agree with the comments here. Because information has become weaponized, I can understand how it’s become difficult for some to differentiate facts from lies. Lies have become facts for those who have seen the same messages repeated. They believe that they have the facts and that their opinions are based on facts, and they likely categorize us into the last two groups on the list. This is the result of extremely effective disinformation strategies.
Sad and unfortunate.
Amazing that it’s come down to one group thinking the other is ignorant and stupid. This makes sense when you realize that facts and reality don’t exist with so much disinformation. It’s exactly as Maria Ressa stated. We can’t communicate with each other when there is no reality. There is still the hope exemplified by Pamela Hemphill. The disinformation campaigns need to stop, but I’m not sure how that is possible, especially when all the power and money are behind them.
