about

Stay open...new information coming in. Do you know how to verify your sources? How do you know what you know? Dedicated to people who need to learn the difference between a peer-reviewed study and a guy on a podcast with opinions.

lyrics

The Waymo car that ran on logic alone
Couldn’t find its way back home
Got stuck behind an obstacle
Turned out that was the least of its troubles

Once information was hard to find
Grab a fact and fill the gap with your mind
Now we zero in on spoonfed sites
It’s all laid out so there’s no need to analyze

Wait a minute
Is this really information
Don’t get bamboozled
Bemused bewildered or befuddled

Stay open
New information is coming in

We narrowcast till kingdom come
It’s good to know our sources match our assumptions
But are we missing anything
To start with the conclusion then seek out confirmation?

Life is filled with constant surprise
But beware of dead ends posing as a light
It’s a dirty complex world
Sometimes Occam’s razor cuts you to the chase

Wait a minute
Is this really information
Don’t get bamboozled
Bemused bewildered or befuddled

Stay open
New information is coming in

Don’t be too sure you know it all
New facts emerge to shift your paradigm
I sift it in my judgement seat
You might be correct to say it’s incomplete

Checking references all day
Who’s saying what and what do they say
Look for proof and trace it back
Clean your glasses before you go on the attack

I’m not trying to cause some kind of situation
I’m just talkin bout in-in-information

Stay open
New information is coming in

Is this the age of information?
Or is it just the age of disinformation?
Got to use your critical thinking
When you take a jump into the data dump
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I don't think I know anything
I know everything
At least I know something?
