The Open Question April 1: How do you decide what to trust?

Right now, today, when you see a claim online or hear something from a friend or read a headline:

  • What's your actual process? Do you have one? Do you mostly just feel it? Something else?
  • When was the last time you changed your mind about a source you used to trust?
  • How much does "who shared it" matter vs. "what the evidence says"?
  • Is your trust process different for topics you care about vs. topics you don't?
  • What topics do you most outsource your trust?

This one sits right at the center of what we're building here. I'm more curious about our observed, honest responses than our aspirational ones.
