Here’s how to get to truth (or close to it) in the Information Age.

- learn how to think broadly

- reason from first principles

- take in information from multiple competing sources

- go direct to source to find information if possible

- employ occham’s/hanlon’s razor

- put aside personal bias

- consider what is likely true and not what you would like to be true

- don’t be afraid to switch your stance

- don’t be afraid of negative social consequences

- be prepared to be incorrect
