Errorism

Errorism is a term used to describe the deliberate or persistent promotion of incorrect information or false beliefs, often for political, social, or ideological purposes. It involves spreading misinformation intentionally or repeatedly, leading to confusion, misunderstanding, or manipulation of public opinion. Unlike honest mistakes, errorism emphasizes the strategic effort to disseminate errors to influence perceptions or undermine trust in accurate knowledge. Recognizing errorism helps in critically evaluating information sources and understanding motives behind misinformation campaigns.
