New review of On Truth in Politics @foreignaffairs.com www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/trut...

When they talk about "land swaps" to end the Ukraine war, what is being swapped? Is Putin actually giving any Russian territory in exchange for the Ukrainian territory he has seized by force? Wouldn't a more accurate phrase be territorial concessions?

So excited to see Manuel Almagro Holgado's new book long-listed for the Royal Institute of Philosophy's Nayef Al-Rodhan International Prize in Transdisciplinary Philosophy. Congrats to Manuel and all the other long-listers! royalinstitutephilosophy.org/news/longlis...

New review of On Truth in Politics

Democracy and the pursuit of truth are twin values and must be defended together. www.skeptic.com/michael-sher...

“Outrageous lies…just have the dazing effect…the idea is to pummel ppl with so much nonsense that they don’t see what is happening right in front of them…to undermine common rules of truth & evidence—and the legal & academic institutions that employ those rules.” @michael-p-lynch.bsky.social

“To change your convictions means changing the kind of person you want to be. It means changing your self-identity. And that is not just hard, it is scary,” argues @michael-p-lynch.bsky.social‬ Tap to read more. | iai.tv/articles/why... #philsky #psychsky

El 11 de junio Neftalí Villanueva, director de FiloLab, intervino en el workshop “Truth, Politics, and Disagreement”, dedicado al último libro de @michael-p-lynch.bsky.social, que participó en el evento. Una valiosa contribución al diálogo filosófico internacional sobre verdad, política y disenso.

The hits to our epistemic infrastructure just keep coming. Expect this effort to go national shortly: wapo.st/4d48IaK

Join me to talk about On Truth in Politics: Why Democracy Demands It www.92ny.org/event/on-tru...

My friend Michael is one of the most eloquent voices out there on truth and what it means to us. He also grills a mean steak, but you'll only be able to experience one of those things if you check out the event below.

So a clip with me on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver talking about indirect costs

Join 92NY for a Newmark Civic Life Series event with @michael-p-lynch.bsky.social and @roberttalisse.bsky.social for a conversation on the relationship between truth and democracy. Attend online 5/5- 7 PM ET www.92ny.org/event/on-tru...

Join me tonight @92ndstreety.bsky.social talking about why truth is the enemy of the tyrant: On Truth in Politics: Why Democracy Demands It url:https://www.92ny.org/event/on-truth-in-politics

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

92nd st. Y tomorrow night: On Truth in Politics: Why Democracy Demands It url:https://www.92ny.org/event/on-truth-in-politics

Philosopher John Dewey warned about the dangers of authoritarian falsehoods, which create a "state of daze" that allows leaders to manipulate the public. This contempt for truth erodes democratic principles. Read more from Michael Patrick Lynch in Ideas. press.princeton.edu/ideas/when-d...

This, from @michael-p-lynch.bsky.social, is the #truth about what is going on now in the United States of America. We *must not* ignore the distortions and lies of the current administration, or else we will lose #knowledge, #health, and #humanity.

Michael Lynch (@michael-p-lynch.bsky.social) says it well: “Undermine the courts and the universities and you undermine the institutions where critical thinking is taught and developed.”

I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism. forward.com/fast-forward...

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

"deal" is a magic word, part of the Trumpian spell, but vacuous. Challenge to reporters: write the news, especially regarding Ukraine, without using it.

Democracy demands truth

Reading the dust jacket of @michael-p-lynch.bsky.social “On Truth In Politics” and baby Goebbels over here is straight up lying about Jan 6 rioters not being afforded due process. We deserve better villains. Hell isn’t empty, but it has issued weekend furloughs and the shittiest devils are here.

So here we have a guy whose main achievement is spreading lies on Russian state television trying to block life-saving American medical research and intimidate American scientists. www.science.org/content/arti...

A timely and rigorous reflection on the political consequences of truth decay in contemporary U.S. politics. Lynch’s analysis offers valuable insight into how authoritarianism takes root through epistemic erosion. @michael-p-lynch.bsky.social #PoliticsAndRightsReview

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

I have an article coming tomorrow about this attempt to create a American "titushky"

These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."
