How to deal with the "infinite and expanding" quantity of disinformation

Disinformation is deliberately-wrong information; and it is a far more significant problem (here-and-now) than either censorship or information deliberately designed to manipulate in a particular direction.

The phenomenon has been growing for several generations to a vast size. But the post-November 2022 "AI" phenomenon is a case in point. "AI" is now not only the source of a qualitatively-increased volume of disinformation; but "AI" (its nature and scope) is itself the subject of a massive and sustained campaign of disinformation. 

How should we deal with the fact that nearly of of what is said by and about everything significant (such as "AI", climate, geopolitics, race, health...) is deliberately wrong, and that there is such an incredible quantity of this wrongness?

From an individual's perspective; disinformation is already "infinite" and still increasing!

It is nonsense to say we should trust only trustworthy sources; because in the ocean of disinformation we cannot discern these - and even honest and competent sources are themselves fed by a great deal of disinformation. Therefore, so far as we can know: there are zero trustworthy sources. 

The answer is that we first need to accept the reality of the situation.

We need to by-pass the whole ever-expanding edifice of deliberate falseness; and decide what is what for ourselves and from our direct knowledge and intuition.

And we, therefore, need to accept that our own judgment on things cannot be publicly justified by arguing from a basis of common evidential ground, we cannot argue using publicly-available information information of accepted validity. 

We must, therefore, be contented with our own judgment, for our own purposes. 

This does not mean we need to keep our judgment private; but that in making our inferences explicit we should not expect to succeed in persuading those others who are accepting the truth of (one or another set of) deliberate lies. 

If we are atheist materialists - this is a counsel of despair: it is a "black-pill". 

But if we are a Romantic Christian, who believes in the primacy of the spiritual and God as creator; then we are convinced that our own personal knowledge-of and adherence-to truth has a direct and positive effect on total reality - by its incorporation into ongoing divine creation.

And that ought to be enough.
