We have fundamentally different priors.

Which areas or circumstances are you observing otherwise?

  • I see routine bad faith in:

    - politicians of both parties (eg, speaking disingenously on issues of relevance to their corporate sponsors)

    - corporations

    - judges, including in the Supreme Court, who abandon espoused judicial philosophies the moment they conflict with political expediency

    - government administrators, much more so with Trump's appointments

    - media organizations (The self-censorship of coverage around Gaza has been eye-opening.)
