You have more access to text, not necessarily knowledge. Knowledge requires active construction through application, debate, and participation. The internet is the perfect medium for constructing software knowledge for obvious reasons, but what about something like economics? On the internet, there are endless supplies of really terrible misunderstandings of core economics principles floating around that, for someone starting out, look and sound no different than the real thing. What about the construction of new knowledge? Social media's mechanism seems to be based exclusively on hot takes. How enlightening or instructive do you think that is?
