Provisional Truth

It's possible that infotainment is more polarizing than "actual" news and analysis. An entertaining conman like John Stuart or John Oliver follow a formula of selling their lines to their audience rather than merely reciting them like a news program talking head.

Audiences should keep in mind that even rigorously pursued fields of study, e.g. Geology or Physics, only provide provisional truths. The idea of plate tectonics, for example, is not even a hundred years old and is not even totally understood.

People should chill out. The pursuit of knowledge or trying to build a way of life is difficult and a process full of mistakes and dead ends.
