Podcasts, positivism and "explainerism"

Anything that raises the information level of Americans needs to be applauded and supported. There’s just too many “low information” people, and those willing to take advantage of them like in the recent election. Just look at the post about the Trump voter who is dismayed that he might actually take away her insurance like he promised.

Should I post again my NSF clipping about about how 55 percent of adult Americans don’t know that the Earth revolves around the sun once a year? This is what the explainers are up against. How can you explain global warming to someone who doesn’t know what a “year” is?
