Some are truths. Some are lies. If lies are told often enough, Joseph Goebbels from Nazi Germany once said they become more believable. This is used by Harari to deduce that fake news is not new. It is merely easier to spread and harder to discern.<\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">Items 1), 2), perhaps 3) and 5) could be changed for the better by having a more open knowledge transfer system. This is seen on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capetowndeclaration.org\/read-the-declaration\">Cape Town Open Education Declaration website<\/a>, a Shuttleworth initiative.<\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;arial&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , sans-serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">The knowledge we have gained and technology we use to improve this knowledge to adapt to and make our world better has actually made it more complex &#8211; see the above TED talk where this is referred to.
