“Facts are statements that we accept as true because they are established by public processes that can be checked — think of the methods of science or traditional journalism. But then the opposite of a fact is not an opinion but a secret: a statement about reality that cannot, and in some cases must not, be verifiable through a public process.” #JonAskonas https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/an-america-of-secrets ht @guncelawits
