       Remember in the pre-internet days when you had to go to the library to lookup facts? Or your own (outdated) set of encyclopaedias?I guess we just didn't know any better at the time, and lived with ambiguity! Hard to imagine now.

       @jasonetheridge Oh people still don't know better. They just choose to not check up the actual facts and go to conspiracy sites instead.

       @trinsec Maybe we weren't so badly off! But I really, really enjoy being able to look up facts in near real time, though. I find myself not wanting to go back.I thought teaching kids critical thinking at school might help inoculate them to conspiracy garbage. Maybe it would? I guess it hasn't really been tried yet.

       @jasonetheridge That would be a good step, that people actually learn to think. So far most educational systems are set up so that they are ready for the job market asap. I think we need to transcend a little bit beyond that.
