I am not very literate in game theory, but I have sort of skimmed
the idea of it. Just writing this down while I remember it:

	If one was interested in "proving"
	why some sort of intellectual anarchy is
	necessary, look for a game theoretical model
	that puts a public persona against a random
	individual in sphere of information.

	What you will find is that the public
	persona will almost never be incentiviced
	to be honest while the random individual
	is benefited most by honesty.

	Case: Covid and honest medical facts as far
	as facts were available. When putting forward
	information, the public persona will have
	an extra factor to count in compared
	to a random individual: The public persona
	will select the information imparted down
	so as to not cause panic. For a random individual
	the honest information would have been more
	useful than the watered down information, but
	the panic avoidant talk is more beneficial to
	the public persona.
