We are becoming 'fact- resistant' - New York Times

H

umans have long used facts to stay alive, but strangely we are becoming increasingly resistant to this life sustaining force.

The New York Times tells us that we are becoming “fact-resistant”, ignoring those things we do that actually threaten our survival.

In the story -“Scientists: Earth Endangered by New Strain of Fact-Resistant Humans” – Andy Borowitz tells us that “Research, conducted by the University of Minnesota, identifies a virulent strain of humans who are virtually immune to any form of verifiable knowledge, leaving scientists at a loss as to how to combat them.”
