It is not ‘The Big Lie’ that rewrites history, it is the carefully crafted toxic bundle of half truths, subtle deflections and omissions, framed by self-styled ‘honest’ brokers and amplified by compliant media propagandists, that best serves historical revisionism. #Agnotology

What's your stance on #agnotology And the fact that disinformation is winning at the moment Do you consider that old school climatologist may exacerbate depression in realistic people ? I met #climatechange in a PRIME-TIME TV documentary in 1996 I have witnessed how people went BLIND & LIARS since

Not sure what I should understand: You claim that Europeans are well informed? If that's your claim I don't agree Even if Europe is at the lead of #climatechange policies implementation... all the #climatedisinformation techniques ( #disinformation #agnotology ) lies are well at play in Europe

Remember the guy who advised to Far-Right to "flood the zone with shit" so as to break the public debate? #disinformation #agnotology Seems like he is also fan of doing "Elon's Roman Salute" in GOP/MAGA/Republicans conference....

#agnotology in action: deliberate creation of ignorance to protect profits The goal? To delay action and shape public debate by spreading doubt - we should recognize these patterns to build a more informed society #ClimateAction @lko.bsky.social I really think you should read it

You should also speak about #agnotology and the fabricated doubts: the goal of Oil Industry is to spread doubt so as to shape the public debate There's this book from 2010 that portrays how industrial influencers put money so as to discredit, specifically targetting parts of the scientific debate:

Question for #agnotology Is there a part of the field studying the influence of the #nuclear #lobby [probably mainly the #French Lobbying/this is only my hypothesis as I have not investigated] so as to break the public debate on sustainable energy: very much in the spirit of what #bigoil does

The man who studies the spread of ignorance
Georgina Kenyon for BBC (2016)

"Agnotology is the study of wilful acts to spread confusion and deceit, usually to sell a product or win favour

It comes from agnosis, the neoclassical Greek word for ignorance or ‘not knowing’, and ontology, the branch of metaphysics which deals with the nature of being."

The man who studies the spread of ignorance

How do people or companies with vested interests spread ignorance and obfuscate knowledge? Georgina Kenyon finds there is a term which defines this phenomenon.
