Hello world 2.0, fake news beware

Hello fellow steemians,

This is my second shot at starting a steemit community. The first time around I was eager but lost, full of ideas but without a clear plan. However, after carefully observing the steemit ecosystem for the past two weeks I feel like I have found the role I must take on to best serve the community.

On my steemit adventure, I have come across many amazing posts, covering a wide array of subjects and although these posts were brilliantly written I have rarely seen any sources cited. This compelled me to check to what extent these posts were accurate. To my surprise, I found quite a few posts with inexactitudes and even some that were factually wrong.
This is where I feel my natural scepticism and love for science and research could have its role. I believe that if steemit is to grow there must be at least some sort of checks and balances system.

And so this blog will be dedicated to:

1. Fact checking posts that I find or that you submit to me
2. General myth busting posts
3. Starting debates
4. Politics & Economics

We will wage war on misinformation, challenge faulty ideas and concepts and ultimately spread the word of facts, science and logic to the steemit lands.

If you want to join the battle on bullshit, please follow, upvote and resteem.
