- “Prebunking” is apparently the process of teaching people how to deal with misinformation before they encounter it.
- If you close the *knowledge gaps* you have around a given subject, though, you don’t need to be “inoculated” against bad claims.
- e.g, If a person claims that a group of people is controlling the weather, it doesn’t matter how well you can read that as a valid or invalid claim if you know how weather actually works.
- Closing knowledge gaps would, I assume, make you less susceptible to the traps of [[data voids are gaps in information online|data voids]]; if you have general literacy around a topic, [[media literacy does not address epistemological differences|media literacy]] becomes a less necessary goal.
