As a new administration arrives in Washington , elite opinion on what to do about America ’s social-media swamps and general epistemic disorder resembles a national-security debate that includes only warmongers and appeasers.

The disinformation fighters, who are mainly on the Left , want to continue a frontal assault on the falsehoods of their choice.

Young people should be taught how to differentiate between emotional appeals and evidence, recognise deception and propaganda, seek reliable information, and challenge and revise conclusions, says Andrew Hammond .

Hammond: Educating a generation of sceptics will be at least as good for our wired world’s health as educating non-smokers fifty years ago was.

He says a multinational “reality convention” could also set some boundaries against calamity.
