> My default reaction would be yes, a curated internet, fact checked for accuracy would be better. The biggest issue is, who decides what's true. Did the Tiananmen Sq Massacre happen? Did PRISM exist? Are my thoughts and rants about how the TSA and DHS are evil and vividly represent the wrong in the US, correct? (What does correct even mean here?) > My own feeling is that the issue at its root is societal in nature - how do you get people to care more about being right than about holding opinions that fit their narrative of the world, or their own ego? I'm not sure there's an answer to that. I agree that it's a social issue. It's the same reason Trump can say Muslims need to register themselves with the state and be cheered. Most people are just idiots. We, as a society, need to (attempt?) to make most people less idiotic. (Yes, I consider myself an idiot much of the time as well. I'm not as well versed in politics and current affairs as I should be. I try to keep up, but part of the problem is the amount of energy and time it requires.)
