Will America’s disregard for science be the end of its reign?
Confirmation bias is baked into the DNA of America, but it may soon be the nation's undoing.
From America's inception, there has always been a rebellious, anti-establishment mentality. That way of thinking has become more reckless now that the entire world is interconnected and there are added layers of verification (or repudiation) of facts.
As the great minds in this video can attest, there are systems and mechanisms in place to discern between opinion and truth. By making conscious efforts to undermine and ignore those systems at every turn (climate change, conspiracy theories, coronavirus, politics, etc.), America has compromised its position of power and effectively stunted its own growth.
A part of the problem, according to writer and radio host Kurt Andersen, is a new media infrastructure that allows for false opinions to persist and spread to others. Is it the beginning of the end of the American empire?
THIS IS NOT A US PROBLEM!
really? Again 5+ times? What is your problem??

Really, in 4 topics the same video? Is it that important? I won't even watch it.

I watched it even though one topic would've been enough. But frisbee golfing is fun! I have the discs in the trunk of my car all the time, as there's a course pretty much in every town in Finland and it's much easier to motivate yourself to go for a 18-hole track instead of going jogging. Which ain't fun.
In Nieuwegein we also have a frisbee course. When I worked near that park, I first wondered why the concrete sqaures and the metal baskets all over the park. When I took a look at the text signs next to these concrete sqaures I noticed numbers and some 'golf course like picture', then I understood.
Oh, apparently it is called Disc Golf in this park, and is a 12-hole course.

And a website that is still under construction, I think (as text on top is in English but text in tabs is all Dutch :P), with tutorial yourube videos: https://www.dsadiscgolf.com/technique-corner/
Maybe I should give it a try some day, when it is warmer outside and not too crowed I will hit someone on the head :/
EDIT: oh wait, they renewed the Disc Golf part in this park in 2020. It is now called DiscGolfPark Oudegein, the website is https://www.pdga.com/course-directory/course/park-oudegein
And to be ontopic: a video, and playlist with instructions to learn how to play :) That could prevent me from hurting a lot of people :P
