How do we tell what's right?

• In the marketplace of ideas, many things sound good

  • How do we tell which ones are really right?

• I am a scientist - I believe in the scientific method

  • Think of what people say in light of what they do
  • "Actions speak louder than words"
  • Test their words against their actions

• Just because they say their words meet their actions...

  • A story about a bagel place
  • I am certain that we all thought we were right
  • I am certain that we would all claim we were right
  • The ground truth is still there... use it as the basis
