@oof@mastodon.sdf.org @richpuchalsky@mastodon.social if the good information is drowning in a sea of slop, how is one supposed to gain knowledge?

@tedmielczarek@mastodon.social @richpuchalsky@mastodon.social Bad books have always been a majority. Remedies include: Bibliographies from reputable sources. Critics who sift through new and old works and offer considered opinions. A cautious respect for bad ideas, which when applied instruct by negative example. Recommendations from trusted sources, whether friends, rivals, authors modern or ancient, and teachers. Stop using indexes that direct readers to slop.
