The information age, although beneficial to mankind, can also create confusion and harm in a culture. What do you do when there is too much of it and you don't have sufficient filters to discern fact from BS? We need new tools to avoid being duped by disinformation, fake news, propaganda and straight-up lies. In this episode Jonesy goes over some of the ways in which you can help yourself avoid crapola in the information sphere by using tools like Occum's Razor and media literacy.
