Plan for Information Discernment


Core Principles

  1. Question Everything - Apply equal skepticism to all sources, mainstream or alternative
  2. Cross-Reference - No single source contains complete truth
  3. Look for Patterns - Truth often reveals itself through consistency across varied sources
  4. Trust Your Critical Thinking - Your discernment is your most valuable tool

Action Plan

First Level: Source Assessment

  • Follow the Money: Who funds this source? What's their business model?
  • Track Record: Examine their history of claims and accuracy over time
  • Affiliations: Note connections to organizations, movements, or other influential entities
  • Consistency: Do they maintain core principles or frequently shift positions?

Second Level: Information Analysis

  • Separate Facts from Interpretation: Identify verifiable data points vs. opinions/conclusions
  • Look for Predictive Success: Sources that accurately anticipate events deserve more attention
  • Watch for Controlled Opposition Markers: Does criticism seem limited to "safe" topics?
  • Check for Internal Logic: Even ambitious claims should maintain internal consistency

Third Level: Personal Integration

  • Create a Personal Framework: Develop your own model of understanding that evolves with new information
  • Maintain a "Maybe True" File: Store compelling but unverified information for future reference
  • Practice Intellectual Humility: Be willing to revise views when evidence warrants
  • Build a Diverse Information Network: Deliberately seek varied perspectives, even uncomfortable ones

Regular Practices

  1. Media Fast: Periodically disconnect from all information sources to reset your perspective
  2. First-Hand Verification: Where possible, verify claims through direct observation or experience
  3. Discuss with Trusted Others: Share insights with trusted individuals who challenge your thinking
  4. Journal Insights: Record patterns, contradictions, and revelations you notice over time

Remember: In a complex information landscape, discernment is muscle that strengthens with exercise. The goal isn't perfect certainty but developing increasingly refined judgment.
