‘What Do You Think Is the Most Important Problem Facing This Country Today?’
Seems to me that it is none of the things in that diagram, and there is a sort of supraproblem above all of those, which is the ongoing and increasing societal rejection of knowledge and facts.<p>It&#x27;s not just anti-intellectualism, it is more like &quot;anti-realityism&quot;, in which simple things aren&#x27;t knowable, in which facts and opinions aren&#x27;t different.<p>We&#x27;ve gone from corporate propaganda like &quot;global warming isn&#x27;t real&quot;, which is a lie but an understandable one, to this incomprehensible new state of &quot;What is the murder rate? How high is unemployment? What is the purity of the drinking water? THESE THINGS ARE NOT KNOWABLE!!! ANY VALUE MAY BE ADVOCATED!!&quot;<p>And literally not one problem on that list can be solved in such an environment...
