| Abstract (English): |
Fake news, misleading claims, hoaxes, half-truths, lies... In order to battle the virus of distrust, fed by fake health news circulating on the internet -- particularly in times of coronavirus -- the solution is to resort to experts such as scientists and professors, activities shared by Hippocrates, Augustine of Hippo and Kepler. From our point of view, the three are amongst those highly regarded sources for becoming well informed of events and uncovering fake news which, as a general rule, is spread by a tweet or a notification which pops up on one's smartphone. In our opinion, the basis of truthful information is not offered by technology as an end in itself. It is the spirit of deep convictions that defines the objectivity underlying the verifiable fact [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Noticias falsas, afirmacione engañosas, bulos, medias verdades, mentiras... Para vencer al virus de la desconfianza, alimentado por las falsas noticias de salud que circulan por internet -y más en tiempos de coronavirus-, la receta es acudir a los expertos, como son los científicos y los profesores, actividad que comparten Hipócrates, Agustín de Hipona y Kepler. Desde nuestro punto de vista, los tres están entre esas fuentes de prestigio para informarse bien de los acontecimientos y descubrir las falsas noticias (fake news) de las que, por regla general, la gente se entera por un tuit o una notificación que salta de pronto en la pantalla de su smartphone. A nuestro entender, las bases de la información veraz no las ofrece la tecnología como un fin en sí mismo. Es el espíritu de las profundas convicciones lo que define la objetividad subyacente en los hechos comprobables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
