We learned a lot during the pandemic. For example, we learned we can't tell the difference between the beginning of a pandemic and the end.

We learned that our government will lie to us if they think they have a good reason. Also, they always think they have a good reason.

We learned the difference between "the news" and an organized brainwashing operation. (Summary: There is no difference.)

We learned that experts are super helpful because you can find plenty of them to support any position as well as its opposite.

We learned that the difference between data and guessing is mostly in the spelling.

We learned that we need to bypass the gatekeepers of information and do our own research. Also, we learned that doing our own research was basically a way to marinate in our own confirmation bias until it congealed into hatred.

We learned that the Fake News business can "disappear" enormous stories. And we learned it is coordinated.

We learned that listening to a highly credentialed expert talking with an independent podcaster seems like a great way to learn what is true about the world but in fact it is often the opposite.

jk, we didn't learn that yet.
