Daniel Dennett: ‘I begrudge every hour I haveto spend worrying about politics’
“The real danger that’s facing us is we’ve lost respect for truth and facts. People havediscovered that it’s much easier to destroy reputations for credibility than it is tomaintain them. It doesn’t matter how good your facts are, somebody else can spreadthe rumour that you’re fake news. We’re entering a period of epistemological murk anduncertainty that we’ve not experienced since the middle ages.“
