How to Cut Through BS Information
<p>The information age, although beneficial to mankind, can also create confusion and harm in a culture. What do you do when there is too much of it and you don't have sufficient filters to discern fact from BS? We need new tools to avoid being duped by disinformation, fake news, propaganda and straight-up lies. In this episode Jonesy goes over some of the ways in which you can help yourself avoid crapola in the information sphere by using tools like Occum's Razor and media literacy.</p><p><br></p><p>LINKS, REFERENCES, RESOURCES</p><p>Lies, Bullshit, and Fake News: Some Epistemological Concerns.</p><p>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42438-018-0025-4</p><p><br></p><p>Why People Fall for Bullshit, According to a Scientist.</p><p>https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2015/12/3/9844480/why-people-believe-bullshit-science</p><p><br></p><p>Americans Remain Distrustful of Mass Media</p><p>https://news.gallup.com/poll/321116/americans-remain-distrustful-mass-media.aspx</p><p><br></p><p>How to Combat Fake News and Disinformation</p><p>https://www.brookings.edu/research/how-to-combat-fake-news-and-disinformation/</p><p><br></p><p>What is Media Literacy and Why is it Important?</p><p>https://www.commonsensemedia.org/news-and-media-literacy/what-is-media-literacy-and-why-is-it-important</p><p><br></p><p>A Guide to Fact Checking Websites</p><p>https://guides.stlcc.edu/fakenews/factchecking</p><p><br></p><p>Occum's Razor</p><p>https://youtu.be/skcCu4RUkAg</p><p><br></p><p>Crash Course on Media Literacy (12 Part Video Series)</p><p>https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH2l6uzC4UEXR5WRRSvaNfmCUYZtTaJeU</p><p><br></p><p>Rube Waddell: The Legendary Lefty Lunatic</p><p>https://youtu.be/kXuPQfv0ljY</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Jonesy</p><p>http://instagram.com/funnyjones</p><p>http://Jonesy.com</p><p>Email me: funnyjones@gmail.com</p><p>Also check out my other podcast, Weird AF News.</p><p>https://weirdAFnews.com</p>

Why Don't We Vote With Our Smartphones?
<p>It's 2020 and we're still using paper ballots? We're still going to a physical poll site in the middle of a pandemic in order to participate in this archaic Democratic process? It's time we got our act together and used technology to usher in the future of voting, which will happen online and on our smartphones. In this special 2020 election episode of Free Your FN Mind Jonesy covers the benefits and barriers to voting online. He also breaks down why we no longer need the secret ballot. Hint: Google already knows who you're voting for.</p><p><br></p><p>Sources:</p><p>BBC - Has the time now come for internet voting? https://www.bbc.com/news/business-39955468</p><p>MIC - Why can't we vote with our smartphones?</p><p>https://www.mic.com/p/its-2020-why-cant-we-vote-with-our-phones-31979959</p><p>Facebook knows your political affiliation</p><p>https://www.wqad.com/article/news/local/drone/8-in-the-air/facebook-knows-your-political-affiliation-and-lots-of-other-stuff-heres-how-to-find-out/526-ab027e8f-71be-4cd0-b59a-31e2b44fcbcb</p><p>Google guesses your political leanings</p><p>https://qz.com/1753639/google-wont-tell-you-its-guess-about-your-politics/</p><p>Washington Post - Abolish the secret ballot</p><p>https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2017/01/06/want-to-improve-democracy-abolish-the-secret-ballot/</p><p>Back when everyone knew how you voted</p><p>https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2016/fall/feature/back-when-everyone-knew-how-you-voted</p><p>Voatz - The road to online voting</p><p>https://voatz.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Road-to-Online-Voting-Final.pdf</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Jonesy (the host)</p><p>http://jonesy.com</p><p>http://instagram.com/funnyjones</p><p>Support the Patreon</p><p>http://Patreon.com/funnyjones</p><p>Email Jonesy</p><p>funnyjones@gmail.com</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to Weird AF News (Jonesy's 5 day week news podcast)</p><p>https://wavve.link/J7GLt35eE/episodes</p><p>http://weirdafnews.com</p>
