Great interview! I've been getting increasingly sceptical of all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over 'misinformation'. Those concerns always seem to end up as "my ideas are correct and anyone who disagrees must be a drooling Neanderthal who can't string a sentence together".

Unfortunately, a really quick way to get 30 million dollars is to start a 501c(3) that researchers and flags "misinformation." There's a lot of money looking for proxies to do information operation work. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be having this conversation. If you follow the money in the anti-disinformation space, it begins to get scary. Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger have done some good reporting on that.
