In recent years, there has been a growing campaign against established knowledge. This campaign has been waged by a variety of groups, including anti-science activists, climate change deniers, and conspiracy theorists. These groups have used a variety of tactics to undermine trust in established knowledge, including spreading misinformation, attacking scientists, and promoting conspiracy theories.

This campaign against established knowledge is a serious threat to our society. Established knowledge is the foundation of our civilization. It is what allows us to understand the world around us and to make informed decisions about our future. Without established knowledge, we would be lost in a sea of ignorance and superstition.

There are a number of reasons why people are turning against established knowledge. One reason is that the world is becoming increasingly complex. This complexity makes it difficult for people to understand the world around them. As a result, people are more likely to turn to simple explanations, even if these explanations are not based on evidence.

Another reason why people are turning against established knowledge is that they are losing trust in institutions. This loss of trust is due to a number of factors, including the financial crisis of 2008, the rise of social media, and the increasing polarization of society. As a result of this loss of trust, people are more likely to believe information that comes from sources that they trust, even if this information is not based on evidence.

The campaign against established knowledge is a serious threat to our society. We must do everything we can to defend established knowledge and to ensure that it remains the foundation of our civilization.

What can we do to defend established knowledge?

There are a number of things that we can do to defend established knowledge. First, we must educate ourselves about the importance of established knowledge. We must understand how established knowledge is created and how it is used to make decisions. Second, we must support scientists and other experts who are working to advance our understanding of the world. We must provide them with the resources they need to do their work and we must defend them against attacks from those who seek to undermine their work. Third, we must promote critical thinking skills. We must teach our children how to evaluate information and to distinguish between fact and fiction. We must also teach them how to identify and avoid misinformation.

By taking these steps, we can help to defend established knowledge and ensure that it remains the foundation of our civilization.
