Information Wars

Fellow Labourers-

Having gone over this article I had a smile on my face because I am personally seeing this information war being played out right before my eyes. I see a crafty use of mindset statistics being quoted as scientific statistics. What do I mean by mindset statistics? This is the kind of statistics that has no bearing on reality. Things are just said and an invisible number of respondents are quoted as agreeing with the interviewer. This seems to be a typical way of arguing in Jamaica which can be very unproductive.


Today a lot of misinformation is now masquerading as facts. We will now have to learn the art of positive deconstruction if we are going to be able to defeat the naysayers who pretend to be constructive in discourses. We must learn the art of listening if we are going to be successful in sifting through this maze of information that confronts us daily. Our reading skill will also be called upon. This war is real and the church is not exempted. Are we prepared?

Pax Vobiscum
