The Consilience Project and good faith communication

This post is a collection of quotes from the Consilience Project paper, The Endgames of Bad Faith Communication (2022). I recommend reading the paper. There are 2 quotes listed below chronologically.

1. "Restoring public trust in good faith communications is possible. But it requires both a cultural shift toward civic virtues and a redesign of the technologies and social processes that structure civic discourse."

2. "Digital communications technologies make possible new forms of democracy, as well as new civic communications infrastructure supportive of the good faith exchange essential to open societies. But these possibilities remain unactualized."
