To sum it up, Platitudes and Misleading Rhetoric. Politicians have learned to say things that sound nice but are so shallow so as to mean nothing in terms of policy, or actions which seem to have an obvious outcome but we know in reality will have a completely different outcome, but they disingenuously use anyway because the false narrative is politically convenient.
Schools need to start teaching people to learn to deal with deceit. Logic and evidence are fine when we agree to rationally discuss and be intellectually honest...but those are not forgone conclusions in this age. We live in a world of deceit, and beneath that, a real battle of ideas...some great and some horrible, we must be able to navigate this whole space as a society and as individuals.
