Iespēja atradināt no politiskās vientiesības

                       Longum iter est per praecepta, breve et efficax per exampla   

        

            Iespēja atradināt no politiskās lētticības

                                                                    

    Ar valsts varas kontrolēto plašsaziņas līdzekļu izplatīto izsmalcināto aģitāciju, ar totālu propagandu un dezinformāciju tiek nodrošinātas manipulācijas ar vēlētāju prātiem, uzspiežot viņiem bezalternatīvu, pie varas esošo pasaules redzējumu. Vairums ļaužu tam pakļaujas, pieņem politisko līderu priekšstatus par neapšaubāmi patiesiem, pat neredzot, nemēģinot vai nespējot saskatīt viņu vārdu un darbu nesaskaņu.

     Tādā veidā tiek sekmīgi panākta pakļaušanās varas diktātam, vēlētājos tiek uzturēta prāta tumsība, padarot viņus par pakļautām bezgribas būtnēm.

    Lai no tā visa izrautos, lai mainītu šo cilvēka cieņu pazemojošo stāvokli, jāmeklē netriviālas metodes, jārada efektīvas iespējas nest apgaismību sabiedrībā. Darot to cilvēkiem pieņemamā, vienkāršā un saprotamā veidā. … turpinājums grāmatā “Kā atbrīvoties no totalitārisma skavām.

Sometimes the most pointed social commentary is best delivered by a giant-eyed, blue-bodied, huggable cartoon character.

In just over two minutes, the animated short A Sad Little Fact asks tough questions about the future of truth itself. Do facts matter in a world where some politicians and pundits lie so regularly and without any accountability? The answer is—and must be—yes, but restoring a public debate grounded in truth is going to take time. And it’s going to require some challenging conversations.

There are big issues raised by this charming and accessible little short; questions that may not have simple answers. But with A Sad Little Fact, families, teachers, and friends have a new tool for starting a conversation that could not be more important.

A Hopeful Story About a Sad Little Fact

TRUTH MATTERS

DECEMBER 04, 2019
BY SARAH MARGON

 Sometimes the most pointed social commentary is best delivered by an adorable, giant-eyed, blue-bodied, and huggable cartoon character.

In just over two minutes, A Sad Little Fact asks tough questions about the future of honesty and truth in an “alternative facts” world. How can we “save” facts when they are relentlessly under attack? Do facts matter in a world where some politicians and pundits lie so regularly and without any accountability? If facts matter, why, and to whom?

One person, unnamed in this animation, looms large off-screen. Since assuming office, U.S. President Donald Trump has made more than 13,000 false or misleading claims, according to the Washington Post, which has been tracking his lies. In an interview on Fox and Friends in late November, Trump made 18 false claims in a 53-minute interview, according to CNN (that’s one lie every 176 seconds). 

As Sacha Baron Cohen told the Anti-Defamation League last month, “There is such a thing as objective truth. Facts do exist.” The Holocaust happened. A man walked on the moon. Twenty-seven children were murdered at Sandy Hook elementary school. Russia hacked the 2016 elections in the United States.

When it comes to human rights, facts can be the difference between life and death. Here are a few recent examples: 

• Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and Washington Post columnist who wrote about the Saudi Crown Price, walked into the Saudi Embassy in Ankara for a marriage license and never exited. Instead, he was brutally murdered by Saudi security services. 
• Myanmar’s military used Facebook to spread hate and fuel a mass atrocity against the Rohingya people. 
• A few U.S. lawmakers peddled the falsehood that the Open Society Foundations paid protestors and migrants. These lies directly inspired violence; pipe bombs were sent to homes of prominent Democrats. Twelve Jews were murdered at a Pittsburgh Synagogue. 

Since the current U.S. president took office, fact-checking has exploded. There are now more than 200 fact-checking organizations worldwide. Five years ago, there were 44.

Meanwhile, the president’s term “fake news”—which he uses to dismiss media outlets and stories with which he disagrees—has been embraced by repressive leaders around the world. Authoritarian leaders in a number of countries—including in Cambodia, Syria, and the Philippines—now use the term to target independent journalists and human rights activists. By using this term to reject the truth, these leaders entrench and promote fictitious narratives that serve their interests only. 

When President Trump leaves office, this problem won’t leave with him. Restoring a public debate grounded in truth is going to take time. That’s why it is important to tell this story in a way that is provocative for adults, but also can open up a conversation within communities—in an approachable way. 

The assault on facts makes addressing transnational problems like income inequality, migration, and climate change difficult and requires a united response from multiple countries.

I am often asked what can be done to push back against those who threaten basic freedoms, and seem intent on destroying the foundations of democracy. Looking for new ways to share facts and help them resonate with a wider audience so they are relatable to everyone is a tremendously important part of a much longer journey. Starting today, we have a new tool—one that can be used by families, teachers, and friends to start a conversation within their schools, neighborhoods, and communities about the importance of facts, and how we need them to uncover and support the truth.

Lisa Feldman Barrett

Seven short essays (plus a bite-sized story about how brains evolved) reveal lessons from neuroscience research. Questions like these in any order:
1 where brains came from
2 how they’re structured (and why it matters)
3 how yours works in tandem with other brains to create everything you experience
4 dismiss popular myths
5 idea of a “lizard brain”
6 the alleged battle between thoughts and emotions
7 between nature and nurture
1/2 to determine your behavior
