Well, look, one of the biggest challenges today, a huge challenge and problem for us is that we can't agree on a common set of facts. We can't even agree on how to determine what a fact is. All of the things that we've used in the past, education, experience, expertise, and actual evidence have all been discredited and not discredited, but denied and dismissed and denigrated.

Use your critical faculties to judge the quality of information and the quality of the people who are disseminating that information and determine whether in the past you've relied on them.
