What Happens When?


A stark warning about threats to truth, science, and democracy


"What happens when the underpinnings of that democracy are eroded? What happens when instead of debating policies, we find ourselves debating the most basic facts? What happens when we can't even agree on what constitutes a fact? What happens when all those elements we rely upon for determining what is a fact -- expertise, education, experience, and evidence -- are routinely devalued, dismissed and denied? That's where we are today."

GreenPolicy360: The development of science over the ions is, as the song goes, "a long and winding road" but here we are in the 21st Century and still facing ancient themes. The "Scientific Revolution", as it was called, was based on ancient knowledge -- and arguments -- that carried through the "Middle Ages" and led to the "Age of Enlightenment", the "Age of Reason", and in Europe the end of "Feudalism", and beginning of "Mercantilism", "Colonialism", "Capitalism" and "Socialism". Social and political revolutions across the world in the 1800s brought on conflict and wars that carried into and across the 1900s with two world wars and nuclear weapons now threatening civilization -- and humanity's existence. Now as the 21st Century reveals new reality, we look out at mixed economies, a heated struggle between democratic and authoritarian governments. New technology and communication networks are used and misused, a global "Internet Age" connecting nations across our planet. We are creating the beginnings of a new electronic, computer era with all its benefits, knowledge, and threats -- an online 360, 24/7/365 system that is 'always on' and shaping our world view.

Within the Internet, the "World Wide Web", the 'lit, open web' and the 'dark web', a different neural network than any before the 21st Century is powering up, with machine learning and artificial intelligence on the near horizon. Computer-assisted reach, engagement, and persuasive power of digital communication is just beginning to feel its full power.
