That is really good. And it connects to the idea of epistemic injustice and how to correct that, which is, I think, a very good theoretical idea because it’s like lay governance, right? Just because people lack certain training and certain use of language doesn’t mean that they don’t have the most kind of “rare earth” of lived-in experience to contribute. In a sense, they were suffering from epistemic injustice from the existing democratic institutions. So epistemic security is about enabling them to feel more connected and thus more secure. I think that is a much more positive frame, more like a life, liberty, pursuit of happiness claim, instead of counter-misinformation.
