The Consilience Project and information warfare

This post is a collection of quotes from the Consilience Project paper, It's a MAD Information War (2021). I recommend reading the paper. There are 2 quotes listed below chronologically.

1. "Techniques of information warfare (such as propaganda) have been developed and expanded by scientists for decades, with much success. We argue that arms races in the context of information wars lead to the same end state as arms races in conventional warfare: mutually assured destruction."

2. "There are potential futures in which the technology currently being used to create information weapons of mass destruction could be used to create the most powerful educational infrastructures humans have ever experienced."
