“Staying unSpun really boils down to following a few principles... When confronted with a claim, keep an open mind, ask questions, cross-check, look for the best information, and then weigh the evidence.”

“Scholars tell us that redundancy is correlated with retention. To minimize retention, a propagandist says one thing while showing the opposite. When the two differ, what we see tends to override what we hear.”

“It's one thing to guess or use trial and error with respect to trivial matters or decisions that can easily be reversed, but you should try for a higher degree of certainty before buying a car or a house, and a higher degree still when choosing a spouse or a president.”
