The solution is contextualization generated by inter-subjective, critical reading processes. So much of the information online is merely floating mid air without reference; the information is hyper relative.

The solution is for all these independent ‘texts’ (whether an article, video, or quotation, etc.) to be archived in a common intertextual space (think: IPFS + graph database). Within this field of texts, space is provided for critical reading and writing over and between texts as a way of embedding sources in a web of semantic relations and references.

For instance, the Sandy Hook shooting would become a node in this space to which all interviews of witnesses and news coverage would be drawn into relationship. Thus, when propaganda makes an assault against truth, all those voices are wielded in opposition simply by nature of those relationships having been revealed and made navigable.

We must provide a technological framework for collaborative deconstructive reading. The spectator-broadcaster relationship has been splintered into innumerable pieces by the internet, so we must remake our way of responding to media. And the comments section is insufficient. The hyperlink is insufficient.
