This is a moment in human nature that requires an adaptation. How do we, as a species, get past the emotional intoxication of having 24 hour instant access to all content with no central vetting by an agreed authority. How do we define, target and remove lies without stunting our dialogues and allowing wrong to exist to be able to train people how and where to spot it. Its in its early phases now but its going to require our species to overcome their mass consumption of all media to focus on regaining the objective truth as a means to progress.

"One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power." Noam Chomsky.

No country with as many progs as we have can avoid stupidity. For those times they have been charge, stupidity has reigned.

johnnyboy, YES.

But, then again, we are at a stage where teaching "critical thinking" and "logic" in schools is "hateful".
