"Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen." 

Written in 1172 by Maimonides, this warning from one of history's greatest scholars has never been more relevant. In an era of infinite written content, viral headlines, and weaponized information, Maimonides' core instruction, that the written word carries no automatic credibility, cuts straight to the heart of how we consume, share, and believe what we read. A masterclass in critical thinking from the 12th century that applies to modern day.
