Misinformation is perhaps our worst universal enemy right now. If you are sharing information without verifying it, you are perpetuating the problem. And, it seems, too many of us are indeed the problem, for we are too comfortable in our echo chambers and too lazy in our humanness to check ourselves, so inevitably we wreck ourselves. We’re wrecking ourselves. Many of us, under the pretense of self-imagined righteousness, abandon rationality and humanity in a game of “told ya so” and “gotcha” social media madness. Stop it. Stop the madness. Please. Please don’t share information that is not (vigorously) verified. Please don’t share information with malicious intent. This is not the time to abandon our rationality and humanity. We can do better.

“I can enjoy a good book.” The learning target for my seniors for our upcoming novel. Back to the focus from which we should have never strayed. Maybe it’s not too late to wash away the sins of schooling. We can do better. #Project180
