Great post
Agreed, it is up to us where on this scale we choose to exist.
However ‘informed skepticism’ is still a relative term, depending from whom one is being ‘informed’.
Folks may watch CNN, or read the Washington Post everyday and this consider themselves ‘informed’, but at the same time thus never even heard of WTC7 for example. Information comes from many vastly different places and experiences, and none are complete. Be informed about one thing is usually to be ignorant of another
I personally am counting on a scenario where the disinfo gets so thick that it will become completely impossible to trust or believe anything anymore, and out of evolutionary survival we develop a new sense where we are clearly able to distinguish truth from lies as we would differentiate the smell of a rose from the smell of shit.
