I&#x27;m not going to comment on the author&#x27;s credibility or overall quality of his arguments.<p>However, I think he brings up a very important point: who gets to decide what&#x27;s misinformation?<p>* Private organizations are run by fallible humans, chasing money and reduced liability<p>* Governments lie. If you don&#x27;t believe me, read any history book<p>* Scientists are not a spherical mass floating in a vacuum with a unified opinion, nor are they correct by default<p>Furthermore, only engineers believe most of the important issues in the world actually have an objective answer to them.<p>So, who gets to decide? Who gets the power of saying what thoughts are bad and what thoughts are good? Is it someone you agree with? What if it changes to someone you don&#x27;t?
