The Consilience Project and propaganda

This post is a collection of quotes from the Consilience Project paper, We Don't Make Propaganda! They Do! (2021). I recommend reading the paper. There are 2 quotes listed below chronologically.

 

1. "...we argue that propaganda can be thought of as the 'evil twin' of education. They often look the same, but with some careful examination, their differences become apparent."

 

2. "The propagandists' complete sources and data are simply never made accessible to the propagandized. A good teacher though, will consider exactly the same text as their student and aim to pass on the responsibility for understanding all of the data and more."
