Agnotology -- culturally induced ignorance or doubt, particularly the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data--, is something of all times, but it seems especially an issue in current times. While many instances claim to “follow the science”, it seems science is not settled on this point. 

This video is about what agnotology is, how you could recognize it and what you can do about it yourself. What may help you  assess information? What is (mis)information, but information that we can filter for ourselves?

People have trouble weighing the information from science due to agnotology (see for instance  Frontiers | For the Greater Good? The Devastating Ripple Effects of the Covid-19 Crisis (frontiersin.org) and Full article: Covid-19: agnotology, inequality, and leadership (tandfonline.com)

According to Wikipedia (Agnotology - Wikipedia): 
“Active causes of culturally-induced ignorance can include the influence of the media, corporations, and governmental agencies, through secrecy and suppression of information, document destruction, and selective memory”.

If people know how to best select information, we can counteract the problem of the politicized debate that divides science.
